#5 Shane McMahon everywhere

How much is too much?
How much is too much?

If you are a regular follower of the Best and Worst articles of my colleague Riju Dasgupta, you would have noticed Shane McMahon making the "worst" list almost every time this past summer. Thankfully, Kevin Owens rescued us all from him on the inaugural episode of SmackDown on FOX.

As mentioned previously, the Wild Card Rule was taking away opportunities from many well-deserved Superstars, who found it difficult to get TV time. The saddest part about the rule was Shane McMahon appearing on both RAW and SmackDown each week to raise hell on Roman Reigns or some other Superstar.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Of course, a great heel makes people hate him, but the sight of 'Shane-o-Mac' everywhere was just too much to handle. Add to it the fact that WWE made a monster like Drew McIntyre his sidekick, and it is clear why it was a big mistake. 'The Scottish Psychopath' lost most of his credibility since his return and is yet to become a top Superstar again.

WWE did make the right call in the end though, as Shane was fired from the company after losing a match to Kevin Owens on SmackDown. This victory made the former Universal Champion a fan favorite - if he already wasn't popular enough.

Remember the huge pop Shane got when he returned in 2016? Well, what's the saying? You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain!
