1. Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens, And Sami Zayn Segment
No feud in the WWE has been going on as long as the feud between SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. This feud has been going on for months and seems destined for a WrestleMania 34 payoff.
This feud took another turn at the Fastlane pay-per-view when after Owens inadvertently kicked Shane O’Mac in the face while he was at ringside, Shane ended up costing both Owens and Zayn apparent wins. It was announced that Shane would make a WrestleMania announcement last night and while he did, it didn’t turn out the way he was hoping for.
Shane O’Mac, in addition to announcing a temporary leave of absence as commissioner, announced that at WrestleMania 34, it would be Owens vs. Zayn before both individuals came to the ring. They were furious with Shane already and those frustrations were taken out on the commissioner in a big way. Owens and Zayn brutally attacked Shane O’Mac to the point where it seemed much more legitimate than most beatdowns in the WWE.
The duo laid waste to the commissioner, and while dragging him backstage, left another mark when Owens powerbombed him. It was a vicious attack that will certainly lead to something WrestleMania-related that probably doesn’t feature an Owens vs. Zayn match. It should be interesting to see where this feud goes from here.

This segment did a great job of furthering this feud and should lead to something major at the granddaddy of them all.
