6 crucial storyline developments from WWE SummerSlam 2019 - Legend returns from injury, shock title change

#3. Kevin Owens isn't fired

There was a part of me that thought that Kevin Owens would genuinely lose to Shane McMahon and would be fired and we'd get the resulting 'Owens does things until he gets his job back' storyline.

But what we got was so much better with Owens overcoming every obstacle and then getting one over on Shane McMahon by hitting the low blow and then Stunning him to keep his job.

Obviously the fact that Owens is still employed is a major storyline development in itself, but when you consider that this is the first time that Shane McMahon has been pinned this year with guys like Roman Reigns and The Miz trying and failing it's an even bigger deal.

My guess is that Owens goes on to potentially be one of the biggest babyfaces in the WWE having vanquished the marauding and egotistical Shane McMahon, but with fellow good guy Kingston occupying the WWE Title what's next for Owens?
