Shane winning the inaugural WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia was supposed to be the beginning of a storyline that would eventually lead to McMahon turning heel &#8211; something he hasn&#8217;t been since his return to WWE in 2016.

 Meanwhile, plans for Alexa Bliss to become the next General Manager of Monday Night RAW have been scrapped too. 



Bliss was reportedly going to replace Baron Corbin as RAW&#8217;s GM but that storyline seems to be out of the window now.

This week, WWE made it clear that they will be moving forward without any authority figures thereby pulling babyface Paige from her role as General Manager of SmackDown Live. 



Bliss has been out of action since October after suffering multiple concussions within a short period of time and is expected to make her return at the Women&#8217;s Royal Rumble match on January 27, 2019.
