Extreme Rules was a stupendous pay-per-view and the company obtained significant momentum before SummerSlam. Here we discuss three things WWE made clear at Extreme Rules.
#3 Shane McMahon will be the opponent of Kevin Owens at SummerSlam
Shane McMahon teamed up with Drew McIntyre to fight the Undertaker and Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. The Tag Team Match was certainly entertaining as the Phenom was at his best. The Deadman pinned Shane after delivering a vicious Tombstone Piledriver. Since the Superstar Shake-Up two months ago, Shane has been having a feud with Reigns and it could have ended at Extreme Rules.
Kevin Owens was the talking point of SmackDown Live last week after an impressive promo. The former Universal Champion had a match with Dolph Ziggler at the Wells Fargo Center as the former pinned the latter within twenty seconds. Following the match, Owens delivered another promo and he called out Shane McMahon.
Considering Owens has been targeting Shane McMahon, they could face each other at SummerSlam. Shane certainly remembers the Stunner from Owens and the Best in the World could be trying to get his revenge soon.
