WWE Survivor Series 2016: 10 Reasons To Be Concerned

8. The Bizarre Appearance Of Shane McMahon...

Shane McMahon Vs. The Undertaker was probably the least anticipated feature match in modern WrestleMania history - but somehow, 29 minutes of boring action were forgiven by the majority of fans because Shane fell onto an inflatable announce desk in the thirtieth. Unfortunately, WWE has inferred from McMahon's popularity that those previous 29 minutes were a success.

The insertion of Shane McMahon into the men's singles elimination match indirectly buries essentially the entire SmackDown male roster...only, it doesn't. This is where his portrayal makes zero sense, and becomes impossible to parse. He is a non-wrestler, ostensibly - but a non-wrestler who is somehow able to match the Undertaker on the ground. When his father Vince stepped into the ring, his matches made sense. He would get battered all over the place, only gaining the upper hand through nefarious means. Shane on the other hand is cast, nonsensically, as a bad-a**. Why doesn't he wrestle all the time? He's clearly alright at it.

There is one scenario which justifies his inclusion. Braun Strowman should throw him off the staging area and onto a crash pad below. Fans get their trademark Shane stunt, Braun gets protected by the obvious intentional count-out, and the seeds for a novelty 'Mania match get planted.

Only, that isn't the scheduled plan...
