WWE News: Shane McMahon beats down Champion on SmackDown
Shane McMahon’s hot streak post his unforgettable WrestleMania 32 ‘Hell In a Cell’ match aganst the Undertaker continues, with the younger McMahon making an appearance on a dark segment of WWE SmackDown in London, during the franchise’s tour of the UK, reports wrestlinginc.com.
McMahon appeared on stage to confront The Miz, who had taken to the ring with Maryse to express his disappointment about the way he was being treated.
Shane’s sudden appearance, which received a ginormous pop, didn’t go down well with Miz, who viewed it as an interruption and demanded better treatment, while goading McMahon. Shane responded by giving Miz a solid beating, after which he made his triumphant exit.

The younger McMahon’s continued rise in WWE, which he returned to for the first time since 2010, could be a sign of bigger things to come, with further appearances on RAW during the UK tour and later also a strong possibility.
Shane made his surprise return during an episode of RAW in March while his father, Vince, was presenting the ‘Vincent J McMahon Legacy of Excellence’ award to his sister Stephanie, which was interrupted by Shane who announced his desire to take over WWE, which his father agreed to hand to him provided he defeated Undertaker at WrestleMania.
Even though Shane came up short against Taker, his influence is showing no signs of slowing down.
