#4 Shane McMahon’s return and jump off the steel cage in WWE

Shane McMahon returned to WWE television earlier this year for a brief period of time. He feuded with Braun Strowman on the Red brand because he wanted to prove that The Monster Among Men is stupid. After weeks of humiliation, Strowman got the opportunity to face Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage match at WrestleMania 37.

The match went as one would expect, with Strowman putting up a dominant display inside the ring. Of course, it led to the inevitable spot where he threw Shane McMahon off the top of the steel cage to secure his victory. Unfortunately, this feud did nothing to help Strowman on WWE RAW. Instead, it felt as if the entire storyline was constructed to lead up to the spot, as mentioned earlier.

At this time, Strowman was getting pushed once again and was close to going after the WWE Championship on RAW. The feud derailed his momentum, and Strowman struggled to win back more credibility. Unfortunately, he was released before he could entirely get back on track. It would be safe to say that the storyline was bizarre at best and tedious at worst.
