Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins would probably be the easiest thing to piece together. Unless they want to freshen things up and go in an entirely new direction. I can think of one man who is ready, willing and GABLE.

Brock just recently signed that new deal too. If he's truly walking out like Austin, his career is over.

Vince McMahon FINALLY fucking off!
Kevin Dunn likely cooked too. John Laurinaitis probably gone and done. Same for Bruce Prichard. Only one way to celebrate the airing out of the WWE corporate offices today. From my favorite band, who are from Stockholm, Sweden. Joey Tempest on vocals, John Norum & Kee Marcello on guitar, John Leven on bass, Mic Michaeli on keyboards, and Ian Haugland on drums, from a Nov. 1986 video shoot at the Hard Rock Cafe in Stockholm...that is EUROPE, who may soon be about to go into the studio for their 12th all-time album later this year. =) |

Remember when Brock first returned and Triple H had to spray his stink all over him in that three match series that included beating him at WrestleMania? Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.

Does Jeff Jarrett find his way into the main event of SummerSlam? Nashville needs a hero, baby.

If anyone should be nervous, it is Tony Khan. With Vince in power it was easy just to write storylines and let wrestlers do their thing. But now with HHH and Stephanie in power...that changes so much. |

Gonna laugh when Vince walks out on Dynamite and is announced as the new owner of AEW.

Per Fightful, talent believe Kevin Dunn will be leaving shortly as well
Damn, I would go out of my way to tune in to the first Dunn-free show just to see if the camerawork makes me nauseous |

I’m not sure TV-14 is the way forward. And I’m not sure I trust Triple H to be cutting edge like that. I didn’t think he was that good at it way back when he was in his 30’s. But they are possibly more open to some creative business strategies. Could they swoop in and make a deal with New Japan? Could they even reach out to AEW about doing cross-promotion? Who knows? This could all be reversed in a week and be a ploy by Vince to get the board to beg him to stay on, lol. As you said, we’ll know better what this looks like in 6 months. |

Somehow this ends with Vince McMahon vs. The Rock in the 2024 Presidential Election.

They’ve made Roman vs. Brock more interesting if they can ever get it again.

Raw is in MSG this week. He could have waited to do it there, or maybe he wants that to be where he says a public goodbye? |

I guess he did announce this right before the market closed for the weekend so I’m guessing company value was the leverage

But that would mean Vince voluntarily retired because he thought he was a detriment to the company. Which is crazy to think about.

Maybe at 77 years old Vince just doesn't want the smoke.

They’re lucky they’ve built up so many guys to slot into the Main Event to replace Brock.

Too bad Adam Cole is injured / in AEW, with HHH in charge and Brock gone, Cole would definitely be challenging for the belt.

That's another interesting angle. With all the HHH NXT guys in different promotions, it makes it way more interesting. Find a way to get the titles off Owens. I'd be foaming at the mouth to get KO versus Balor for the title at Survivor Series.

Something to keep in mind about Triple H/NXT: It was designed to target a specific audience. It was a vanity project for the WWE Network. Just because Triple H went with Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Adam Cole in NXT doesn’t mean he’s going to have the same gameplay for 3 hours of Raw on USA, 2 hours of SmackDown on FOX.
He might treat them better. If that’s even a good thing. Look at what Adam Cole has turned into. But I wouldn’t expect NXT to turn back into NXT let alone Raw or SmackDown to do that. But hey, if he wants to get himself over, maybe a bit of “fan service” is the way they’ll go? It would be interesting if they at least tried to give Raw and SmackDown different vibes. Hell, we might even see WWE’s extensive trademark library mined if Vince isn’t going to be opposing overall direction. |

If they truly want to make SD and RAW separate, lead the build up to Survivor Series and have it mean something.
Do another draft after Survivor Series. Let the "winning brand" get like the first three picks or something. They have the potential to spice it up. Make things really interesting. Eliminate the Hell in the Cell PPV. Let it be what it was designed for, a feud ender but not a PPV. |

I’m not gonna lie gentlemen, I’m excited for WWE again. I want to see where they go with this. It’s an opportunity to finally move the company forward with a different and fresh vision.
