Shane McMahon faced the Miz in a Steel Cage match at Money in the Bank. This match was meant to be the last match of their feud before both of them move on to different opponents.

Shane eventually won the match after he slipped through the hands of the Miz from the top of the Steel Cage when the latter attempted a Superplex. He fell from the top of the Steel Cage and got laid out when he hit the floor, but he won the match via escape from the Cage.

There was a spot in their match where the Miz hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Shane McMahon on to the steel chair, but Shane put his leg on the ropes which prompted the referee to break the count even though those rules doesn't apply inside the Steel Cage.

Here are three potential reasons why Shane McMahon picked up the victory over the Miz.

#3 To build him to face Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is rumored to face Shane McMahon next at the Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia. It was one of the reasons why he got paired with the Miz during the build-up of his feud with Elias.

After a win over Elias, Shane is the Boss level opponent (no pun intended) for Reigns. When a part-timer faces a mainstay, he needs to have a considerable amount of momentum.

Shane McMahon's match against Roman Reigns looks weak on paper as Shane doesn't come out as a threat to a multi-time WrestleMania headliner such as Roman Reigns. A win against the Miz provides him some momentum to go up against Roman Reigns.

While the result is expected to be same but at least after two consecutive victories over the Miz, Shane proved that he could pull off an upset at the next PPV as well.
