The WWE universe is currently abuzz with speculation and anticipation following WrestleMania, the company’s biggest event of the year. However, what was meant to be a celebration of the sport turned into a controversial episode of RAW, with Vince McMahon causing quite a stir.
During the show, McMahon took control and hacked the script to pieces, even changing things on the fly as the show was being broadcast live. This unexpected move has left many fans and industry insiders wondering what will happen next, particularly with SmackDown coming up soon.
Adding fuel to the fire, Triple H was seemingly relegated to lesser tasks during RAW due to McMahon’s takeover. This has only increased speculation about what might happen on SmackDown, with some higher-ups reportedly hoping that the show will return to the style that Triple H had implemented.
As noted by Sean Sapp (behind a paywall), there are some within the company who believe that SmackDown should return to the format that was in place prior to McMahon’s interference. However, it remains to be seen whether this will actually happen.
Higher ups that we spoke to Thursday believed and hoped that Smackdown would return to the version of the show we saw since Triple H took over.
The situation has become even more complicated due to reports that several top WWE Superstars are considering submitting requests for their release from the company. While it’s unclear whether these requests are directly related to McMahon’s actions or other factors, it’s clear that WWE needs to act fast to correct the situation and keep its top talent happy.
Overall, the fallout from McMahon’s takeover of RAW has created a lot of uncertainty within WWE, leaving fans and insiders alike wondering what the future holds for the company. However, with SmackDown on the horizon, there is hope that the show will return to the style that made it so popular under Triple H’s leadership, and that the current issues within WWE can be resolved before they cause any further damage.
