Opinion: This is the kind of thing that WWE had to do at some point. The idea of ignoring everything that was going on was not going to work and WWE seems to understand that they had to do something. I’m curious to see where all of this goes, but it does not seem that the story is going to be over anytime soon. We could be in for a very interesting Road To WrestleMania and that is the best thing possible.
