It's thought that the original plan for Shane McMahon was for him to turn heel shortly after being named "Best in the World" at Crown Jewel but plans changed and that never actually came to pass.
Now, with a "new era" in place for WWE, a heel authority figure seems highly unlikely so what exactly is WWE building to now that Shane is part of the Best Tag Team in the World with The Miz? Surely it can't be as simple as the A-Lister turning on him in a bid for revenge for what happened at the PPV?
Regardless, the duo will be facing The Bar at the Royal Rumble for the SmackDown Tag Team titles and during this Tuesday's episode of the show, it's said that The Miz will host the "Best Birthday Bash in the World" for his tag team partner. Needless to say, it should be interesting seeing how it plays out.
Other segments booked for the show include Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas and Carmella vs. Sonya Deville (which was made after the two started trading barbs on Twitter over the weekend).
