WWE is bringing a very big show to their SmackDown debut on Fox. They obviously want to pop a huge rating and have booked a few pay-per-view caliber matches just days before the Hell In A Cell event.
One big match that was made official for the October 4th debut is ladder match. This won’t be any normal ladder match because Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon will battle with a loser leaves town stipulation.
Wrestling News reports that the plan is for Shane McMahon to lose and exit WWE television as an authority figure. WWE wants to present a sports-like product as they go to Fox, therefore, they don’t need the usual shenanigans of the non-wrestling Shane McMahon.
It will be interesting to see how WWE ends up booking this match, but it isn’t expected that Kevin Owens is going anywhere.
