WWE News: Why Shane McMahon Was Added To The Survivor Series PPV?

A huge announcement was made when we went off the air from Smackdown Live last week. Daniel Bryan confirmed Baron Corbin would be unable to compete at the Survivor Series PPV due to the injury that he faced at the hands of Kalisto in the singles contest that night.
So, as a replacement, Bryan proposed Shane McMahon’s name and he agreed much to the delight of the crowd. Shane was put as the fifth member of Smackdown Live for the 5-on-5 tag team elimination match at the Survivor Series PPV. He further declared on Twitter that it will be his honor to represent the brand at the dual brand PPV.

But, the latest happenings suggest that the real reason for Shane McMahon’s inclusion to the team is something else. Baron Corbin’s injury is not legit and he was just out of the picture as part of the storyline. Corbin was seen competing in the live event of Smackdown in the European tour of WWE. He faced off Jack Swagger and won the match. This proves that it was a creative idea to add the younger McMahon to the team.

Cagesideseats.com reported that WWE wants more ticket selling and WWE Network subscription in this month on the verge of the 30th annual Survivor Series PPV. Hence, Shane was added to the PPV for the same purpose and it came as a masterstroke since the increment was mentionable.

Furthermore, the move might create a beef with McMahon and Corbin once Survivor Series PPV is done. This will help to pull up the Lone Wolf to the food chain in roster. He’s been asking for more competition from Daniel Bryan and might get one after the dual brand PPV is over.

As of now, team Raw will take on team Smackdown at the Survivor Series PPV scheduled in Toronto. Apart from Shane, we will see AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton competing on behalf of Smackdown.
