WWE Superstar Kevin Owens defeated Shane McMahon at SummerSlam in order to continue being associated with WWE. With his career on the line, KO had no option but to deliver his best in Toronto and he didn't disappoint.

From playing mind games with Owens to employing Elias as the 'official enforcer' in the match, Shane McMahon did everything he could to beat his opponent. In fact, Elias saved Shane from getting pinned at several instances during the match. This led a frustrated Owens into hitting Elias with multiple chair shots right outside the ring.

He then seized the opportunity when the referee wasn't looking and hit Shane with a low blow. Following that, KO hit a stunner and picked his victory via pinfall.

It almost seems like this feud will now be a part of a history book but Shane isn't someone who backs down that easily. Thus, he might try once again to reignite the rivalry between the two Superstars. Only this time, he might have something more devious on his mind.

Meanwhile, Kevin Owens is the favorite to win the recently announced 'King of the Ring' 2019.

Eight Superstars from the Blue Brand including KO will be taking part in the tournament. One of the names included in this list is that of Elias. Considering their recent clash, it is possible that KO will find his next opponent in Elias who will also look to avenge the multiple chair shots he took at SummerSlam.
