WWE is putting a lot of thought into what they have planned for SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 35. This year’s “Show Of Shows” goes down from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on April 7, 2019. Initially, the plan was for McMahon to feud with Daniel Bryan heading into the pay-per-view.
However, WWE’s plans changed once Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles for the WWE Championship recently. WWE has been teasing a Shane McMahon heel turn in recent weeks, which was supposed to play into his feud with Bryan. McMahon won the WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, which was an unfavorable decision to say the least. Also, McMahon can’t be happy SmackDown Live didn’t pick up a single win over RAW at Survivor Series.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter‘s Dave Meltzer reports that a big part of McMahon’s character change will have to do with his World Cup win and SDL’s failure at Survivor Series. His character change is expected to really vamp up in the first quarter of 2019 before a big WrestleMania 35 match is set up. It remains unclear what exactly that match will be.
However, McMahon and The Miz might have set up an interesting angle last week. Miz asked McMahon to be his Tag Team partner, before losing a match to a pair of local jobbers without even tagging McMahon into the match. It will be interesting to see how McMahon’s road to WrestleMania plays out.
