Shane McMahon kicked of SmackDown Live and stood in the ring for a minute without saying anything as the crowd chanted "You suck". He then called over a ring announcer to introduce him as 'the best in the world'. He then caught the announcer by the collar and made him do it again, this time with flair.

He then started to explain his actions from Sunday night. he said his whole life, people have been asking him for favors to help further their careers. He said beating up The Miz in front of his dad gave him quite the rush and he wants to do it again at WrestleMania.
