The professional wrestling community has been abuzz with rumors regarding Shane McMahon possibly turning heel, particularly after he shockingly won the WWE World Cup.

Well, to be honest, the aforementioned speculation is most definitely justified, since the usually just and easy-going Shane O'Mac has made a few questionable decisions as of late, not only in his controversial win at Crown Jewel, but also on SmackDown Live.

The general consensus in the pro-wrestling world currently seems to be that McMahon could possibly turn heel at WWE's Survivor Series PPV which takes place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on November 18th.

That being said, Shane turning heel after several years of being away from WWE which was followed by his run as a babyface since 2016; would obviously be a huge change to the WWE landscape. Needless to say, the company has to be extremely smart with its booking of Shane's heel turn in the days to come.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Today, we bring to you the likeliest feuds which the WWE could present us with, featuring Shane McMahon as a heel. So, without further ado, let's examine this huge upcoming change in the WWE Universe!


#3 Daniel Bryan

Perhaps the most hard-hitting storyline after a Shane McMahon heel turn at Survivor Series would be if he betrays none other than his longtime friend Daniel Bryan, during the traditional 5-on-5 Men's Survivor Series Match.

It's no secret that Shane and Bryan share a great camaraderie behind the scenes in WWE, and with both fan favorites being disciplined BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) practitioners in real-life, the bond between these two BJJ fighters is indeed true and tested. That in turn would serve to raise the stakes, and make Shane 's betrayal of Bryan all the more significant in the days to come.

Furthermore, after attacking Bryan, and costing Team SmackDown (Men's) the traditional Survivor Series Match, Shane could then engage in a rivalry with Bryan leading up to the TLC PPV which takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on December 16th...

#2 Shane McMahon attacks The Miz and pulls off a double-turn at Survivor Series

When The Miz seemingly hurt his leg in the finals of the WWE World Cup at the Crown Jewel PPV, he visibly tried his level best to stand up and fight. However, since the referee determined that The A-Lister would be unable to compete, Shane McMahon acted on impulse and inserted himself into the match against the RAW brand's finalist Dolph Ziggler -- with Shane subsequently defeating Ziggler and winning the World Cup.

While most fans claimed that the WWE might have pulled off a double-turn at Crown Jewel -- turning The Miz face, and Shane heel -- that wasn't the case...Regardless, the WWE may very well pull of a double-turn at the Survivor Series PPV come November 18th!

Shane could turn on The Miz after a brief disagreement during the Men's 5-on-5 Survivor Series Match, and end up attacking The Miz from behind.

Bear in mind, that considering how The Miz wrestles more of a softer style than Daniel Bryan, Shane could easily feud with The Miz all the way up to the Royal Rumble which takes place at the Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on January 27th, 2019...

#1 Shane McMahon has a WrestleMania dream feud with Jeff Hardy

Shane McMahon has time and again been criticized for not being a good professional wrestler, so to speak. His detractors often claim that although his promo work may be decent, Shane isn't really good in the mat wrestling department of the sport.

Funny thing -- truth be told -- is that the aforementioned critics never really note Shane McMahon's insane, daredevil-like aerial maneuvers. The bump he took from atop the Hell in a Cell structure against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, truly is a testament to the toughness and dedication Shane O'Mac has towards this business.

Similarly, Jeff Hardy is yet another man who's indeed amongst the most daring high-flying risk-takers of all time in professional wrestling. Shane McMahon vs. Jeff Hardy is a dream rivalry come to fruition.

The WWE's best bet would be for Shane to attack Jeff at Survivor Series, and feud with the latter all the way up to WrestleMania 35 which takes place at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on April 7th, 2019.
