Shane McMahon’s World Cup win at WWE Crown Jewel was the plan came as a surprise to fans and it looked like they called an audible to cover for The Miz being injured.
The reality is that The Miz is not really injured. Dave Meltzer reports that everything they did in the World Cup finals was the plan. It looks like an angle meant to further a storyline that will culminate at Survivor Series.
Going into the show, Shane McMahon said if Smackdown lost in the finals then the losing wrestler would be fired. Earlier in the show, Smackdown was referred to as the “B” show so it looks like the story here is that McMahon is desperate to get out of his sister’s shadow.
