So long, farewell? Over the last few months, the top story on “Smackdown Live” has been a power struggle between Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan. The two haven’t come to blows but they’ve clearly been having issues with each other for a long time now. However, something changed tonight which could make the story go away.

The announcement didn’t go well for McMahon.

Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn brutally attack Shane McMahon: SmackDown LIVE, March 13, 2018

At the end of this week’s “Smackdown Live”, McMahon announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as Commissioner. There is no word on how long he will be gone or if he will be back in the role at all. McMahon leaving his job will leave Daniel Bryan as the lone authority figure on “Smackdown Live” starting next week.

You can read this week’s results here.

Opinion: Thank goodness. I haven’t been a fan of McMahon’s time as Commissioner as he’s been all over the show and received far too much attention in the role. Hopefully he’s off TV for a good while and things can move forward without him. There’s just no need to have two bosses on the show, especially when the two of them are both good guys. The arguments haven’t done anything for me, though you can almost pencil McMahon in for a match at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”.

They really have been fighting for a long time.
