3 SmackDown Superstars who should feud with  'Best In The World' Shane McMahon

At Crown Jewel, the WWE hosted a World Cup tournament, which would determine once and for all, who would be the Best In The World.

Would it be the Show-Off Dolph Ziggler, flanked by his heavy Drew McIntyre?

Or perhaps it would be Rey Mysterio, who recently returned to the company after many years away.

Instead, it was Shane McMahon, the Commissioner of SmackDown Live, who inserted himself into the finals after SmackDown's The Miz was unable to compete against RAW's Ziggler.

Very pleased with himself, Shane paraded around the King Saud University Stadium with the trophy, as the Best In The World seemingly turned heel, the first time we have seen a heel run from Shane since he returned in 2016.

With a heel now running the blue brand, there's a whole bunch of storylines that may come from here.

Here are 3 SmackDown Superstars who should stand up the Best in the World, and feud with Shane McMahon.

3. Rusev

Rusev has had an odd role on SmackDown Live. A massively popular star, Rusev has maintained a fixture of the mid to lower card, occasionally having title matches, where he always comes up short.

A feud with Shane could be a fun new trip for the Bulgarian Brute, who is in desperate need for a feud following Aiden English, and his Crown Jewel loss to Shinsuke Nakamura.

Perhaps Rusev can call out McMahon for allowing English to make such slanderous accusations about Lana without repercussions in the 'One Night In Milwaukee' story.

However they portray it, the two could put on some fun matches, with their contrasting styles, as Rusev is the powerhouse, and McMahon the quicker, more nimble heel.

The story could definitely entertain fans, and rise Rusev's status as the show continues to grow, with the FOX move just a year away.

2. The Miz

It makes sense that The Miz would be the first Superstar who wants answers from Shane McMahon.

After all, The Miz was supposed to be the man in the finals of the World Cup tournament, not Shane.

Whilst McMahon will no doubt defend himself as doing what was best for SmackDown Live, it's hard to imagine this will go down well with either the WWE Universe, or the company's resident A-Lister.

The rumour going around is that the company has plans to turn The Miz face, something that hasn't been seen before, except a brief run in 2013.

The 2013 run wasn't great, but to be fair to Miz, he has grown massively over the past five years, so perhaps this will be better.

Hopefully, if the company does go for this, the feud between the two will work, and the fans will be able to embrace the new Miz.

1.Daniel Bryan

When Daniel Bryan retired in 2016, it was a truly heartbreaking moment, and whilst his time as an authority figure alongside McMahon was fine, fans could not help but miss his matches.

Now once again a wrestler, Bryan has surrendered a lot of his power over the blue brand, but hasn't lost his sense of right and wrong.

Perhaps this is why Bryan would make the perfect feud for McMahon, who has given in to his own ego.

We all know that Bryan can still go, and McMahon's rare matches are entertaining, so the dynamic between the two should be great.

Maybe Bryan would try and make Shane see the error of his ways, whilst McMahon, refusing to see what he did was wrong, would see Bryan as trying to usurp the power he once had.

Either way, these two would have some fantastic matches, and could tell an epic story going into Survivor Series.
