What Was Vince McMahon’s Big Announcement?

That’s the big moment? Late last week, it was announced that Vince McMahon would be appearing on Monday Night Raw with a special announcement that would change everything on the show. The last month or so of Monday Night Raw really haven’t been well received and it was clearly time for some kind of a change. It wasn’t clear what he was going to do, but now we know.

Vince opened this week’s show and brought out Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Shane McMahon, with the big announcement being that the four of them would be taking over both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live on a more permanent basis. While details weren’t clear, they said that middle management would no longer be running the shows, which could mean having no General Manager on either show, though this wasn’t confirmed. Baron Corbin attempted to become permanent General Manager again, but was defeated in a match with Corbin’s authority on the line.

I wonder if this is going to lead to another one of these. Check out the Top Ten Power Struggles in WWE history:

Opinion: I have no idea where this is going so far, but I’m a little scared of what we saw so far. The solution here seems to be more McMahons and more of the same stuff that we’ve seen time and time again for the last…oh twenty plus years or so. It’s too early to say, but at the same time I’m rather worried about how long it’s going to be before they’re right back to whatever they call General Managers again, because you know it’s coming.

What do you think of the new direction? How long will it last? Let us know in the comments below.
