Reported Long-Term Plans For Shane McMahon Following Him Winning The WWE World Cup Tournament

As we saw at WWE’s Crown Jewel PPV this past Friday, Shane McMahon ended up winning the WWE World Cup Tournament after he inserted himself into the finals as a replacement for The Miz who appeared to have “injured” himself early on in the contest.

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez discussed the decision to book Shane McMahon as the winner of the WWE World Cup Tournament. During the discussion Alvarez says that he was “basically told” that the plans in place by WWE for Shane McMahon are said to be long-term. Regarding WWE’s plans for Shane McMahon going forward, Alvarez said:

“To the best of my knowledge, this is long-term. I was basically told that but I mean plans change all the time but I think it’s long-term. Not to mention they have 2 babyfaces running the show on SmackDown — this is very unlike them.”

“They love heel GMs and so I think SmackDown isn’t doing all that great you know they’ll turn it around with a heel McMahon running the show. So I think this is going to be a long term thing I think he’s going to come out bragging about being the Best In The World. Paige can be the babyface, he’ll be the heel. He will come out and Paige will have their back and forth battle etc etc.”
