5 reasons why WWE had Shane McMahon destroy Kevin Owens on this week's SmackDown Live

#4 To anger the WWE Universe

The fans are angry but angry enough that they'll tune in to SummerSlam.

Part of what has made the feud between Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens so great is how it has played on very real ideas from the WWE Universe.

Though McMahon the character may relish in all his screen time, Shane the person, as well as everyone involved knows that there are some genuine complaints by the fans about how much screentime the Boss' son has received.

As backward as it may seem, giving McMahon more time this week and making him look like a killer in the process is exactly the right idea by WWE to hook fans who are sick of Shane O'Mac.

Now, fans are in a frenzy and ready to see Owens destroy the so-called Best in the World, and if they're ready to see it, they'll almost certainly be tuning in this Sunday.
