The ‘Best In the World’ Shane McMahon is one of the most hated characters on the main roster. Last week, he appointed Kevin Owens as a referee for his semi-final match against Chad Gable on the pretext of forgiving Owens’ $100,000 fine.
KO did his best in the match while Shane O’Mac kept pulling off one dirty trick after another. But none of his shenanigans could keep Gable from fighting for a spot in the final of the King of the Ring tournament.

After losing his match, Shane told KO that he was fired. Soon after that, Owens put up a cryptic tweet hinting that he might be headed to NXT which is going live on the USA Network from this week.
Kevin Owens enjoyed some of the best days of his career on the yellow brand and frankly, I would love to see him be the face of WWE NXT. However, I also hope that he will make an iconic exit from the blue brand.

Tomorrow, when Shane addresses the entire KO segment, the latter can walk out and annihilate his boss one last time before moving on to the third brand of WWE. Props to him if his goodbye present to Shane is a headbutt that the latter will remember for days to come.
