The big storyline coming out of this week’s Clash of Champions go-home edition of WWE SmackDown from Madison Square Garden is Shane McMahon firing Kevin Owens at the end of the show.
As noted, the storyline was that Shane would consider dropping the $100,000 fine to Owens if he would be the special referee and help Shane win the King of the Ring quarterfinal match against Chad Gable. As noted, Shane was booked to replace Gable in that KOTR match because Elias is out of action with an ankle injury. The match saw Owens help Shane with fast or slow counts, but Gable ended up winning to advance to the KOTR finals against Baron Corbin on next Monday’s RAW. SmackDown ended after a furious McMahon attacked Owens and then fired him.
There’s no word yet on where they are headed with the Owens – McMahon storyline, but we will keep you updated. There’s also no word yet on if Owens or McMahon are booked to appear at WWE Clash of Champions on Sunday.
