#1 Because Shane is winning on Sunday

This is by far the most controversial view, but there is always a chance that the Best in the World will emerge victorious on Sunday at SummerSlam. If he does, this will mean that Owens will be forced to leave the WWE forever, though as we all know in the world of professional wrestling, forever isn't actually that long.
For months, rumors of Shane entering the WWE Championship picture have circulated, and though fans may not agree with the idea, Shane is a rare commodity in WWE in 2019: a heel who actually gets booed.
What better way is there for the so-called Best in the World to be even more hated, than by forcing Owens from the company this Sunday, and this week's attack to soften up the former Universal Champion?
