Shane McMahon may be the Commissioner of SmackDown Live, but with WrestleMania right around the corner the Commissioner is expected to step into the ring once again at the Show of Shows this year.
For months now Shane has been feuding with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, and there’s also been tension between Shane and SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan. It seems logical that all of the interactions between the four stars would lead to some sort of match at Mania, but it appears WWE may be going in a different direction.
During a recent episode of Backstage in WWE with Brad Shepard and Jon Fisher, Shepard reported that there’s been talk of booking Shane in a match with Dolph Ziggler.
“It looks like plans have recently changed and now Shane McMahon’s match, it sounds like his opponent will be Dolph Ziggler,” Shepard said via Ringside News. “From what I’ve been told, that’s what they are looking to do.”
“Shane has got to have his match and Dolph has never had a singles match at WrestleMania. It will be a good match, that’s fine. Not everything I am dying to see but… That will be something to watch for if they do go with that — we should start seeing that build soon.”
A singles match at WrestleMania is something that Dolph Ziggler has wanted for quite some time. So, if this is indeed the direction that WWE officials are looking to go with Shane’s WrestleMania match then it looks like Dolph could be getting his wish.
