#1 Shane McMahon Win the WWE World Cup

Really? Really WWE?
Really? Really WWE?

What did I just see?

The WWE World Cup tournament was an eight-man tournament to determine the “Best in the World”. I laughed at the idea that only Americans were involved in the World Cup. However, the semi-finals, in particular, were pretty good and I was looking forward to the rare heel versus heel match in the final. However, I quickly forgot the WWE can make some really stupid decisions.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

It one of the most surprising decisions in recent WWE history, as the WWE decided to pull an injury angle after going through the entire eight-man tournament. The Miz, who had fought so well in the tournament, was “injured”. And naturally, he was replaced by Shane McMahon. Yes, Shane McMahon was entered into the tournament without warning and won the entire thing.

Shane defeated Dolph Ziggler to be crowned “Best in the World”. Sigh.
