#2 Kevin Owens makes a distasteful comment about Shane McMahon - WWE Smackdown

McMahon vs. Owens.
McMahon vs. Owens.

Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon share a detailed history. Both Superstars had two entertaining WWE feuds during 2017 and 2019. In their first feud in 2017, both Owens and McMahon became a part of many intense segments. During the first Smackdown episode of September 2017, Owens said one of the most disgraceful things a man could ever say.

At that time, Shane McMahon was part of an unfortunate helicopter crash in real life, which he thankfully survived. WWE decided to use this real-life incident in the ongoing storyline to attract the attention of viewers.

The two Superstars had a very heated argument, as Owens accused McMahon of holding him back on Smackdown. As the segment progressed, KO got more and more personal with Shane and even dragged his kids into the conversation.

When Shane warned KO for not mentioning his kids again, the latter replied that Shane's whole family would have been better if he hadn't survived that helicopter crash. McMahon was furious after this comment and started to beat up Owens.

He kept assaulting Owens until Daniel Bryan intervened to save KO. It was one of the most well-executed segments of 2017. Owens was heavily praised for his amazing heel-work, which made many viewers feel uncomfortable on purpose.
