Austin Theory vs. Shane McMahon to determine Vince's "real son". Theory wins, becomes Austin McMahon, all so they can promote the Raw after Wrestlemania as being main evented by "#AustinMcMahon" honestly, with how it plays into them wanting to change indie worker names to something they can own, I could very easily see this happening.

This is where Vince is gonna double cross Theory just so he can grumble the like “It was me, Austin! It was me, all along!”

I love Otis' face in the screen cap. It kinda sums up the general feeling about this year's rumble.

Remember when he got like one of the biggest pops of recent years for his original return?
We were THAT sick of Stephanie, hm?

I can't imagine even the biggest Shane detractor in 2016 expecting that his eventual heel run would be that unspeakably bad.

I can't imagine even the biggest Shane detractor in 2016 expecting that his eventual heel run would be that unspeakably bad. If anything, it seems like we should’ve seen it coming. Even as far back as the feud with Kane, literally at the most monstrous he’d been since his debut because of the unmasking, where he was somehow able to hold his own. See also the feud with Randy Orton. At what point did it go from “Dude out of his depth with a f***ton of heart and bravery” to “He’s actually out-working these guys straight up for some reason”?

This man owns a trophy that confirms that he is the Best in the World, what are you all so angry about?

I like Shane and he seems like a cool guy in real life but wheeling him out year after year for Mania is something I'll never understand,he isn't a wrestler and shouldn't be given high profile matches every mania.

He’s still super over and it is a meaningful spot for a full-timer to go against him. Obviously didn’t work out for Braun getting released, but I think it would be a great spot for Theory this year

Obviously didn’t work out for Braun getting released, but I think it would be a great spot for Theory this year Theory is 24 years old, and assuming he doesn't have a match in KSA, a match at 'mania against Shane will be his first WWE singles PPV match. Talk about a baptism of fire.

Kevin Owens. After getting eliminated by Shane in the RR, it's going to be those two at 'mania. Didn't we get that or was Owens just involved in the Taker HIAC match from a few years back?

Johnny Knoxville in a jump off heights contest. They would probably promote that someone will die in this match.

It's kind of wild that Stephanie vs Brie Bella is honestly better than basically any match return Shane has had.

Yeah, it was Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon vs Owens and Zayn in 2018 at 'Mania. The Hell in a Cell match (at the eponymous PPV) between Owens and Shane was from 2017 and it was also the match in which Zayn first turned heel in the WWE by pulling Owens off the announce table allowing Shane to crash and burn.
Hell in a Cell was also where Nakamura choked against Jinder Mahal after that promo.

They also said he'll be a heel.
