Nothing is ever better than taking a real life situation and turning it into an angle So indulge me for just a moment
hhh comes out tonight. Starts his rah rah promo. Pauses for a bit and then says “nope. I can’t continue to lie to you or to the wresters in the back. Vince is back in charge clearly and this is BS. I quit”…
He leaves and slowly the people he brought back begin to quietly disappear. Straughman. Kross. Gargano. LDF All his people just aren’t on anymore but the announcers go about their business and don’t say anything much …
Then say a month before summerslam HHH and the troops blast their way on to raw.
WERE TAKING OVER!
Some people who stayed would clearly side with Hunter (like Sami and KO and Gunther) Others (Cody Seamus Drew Brock ) stay loyal to Vince For a while the bloodline remain neutral
You could milk a good six months out of this before you end up having some type of massive showdown at WM next year with the winner being chosen by the new company as the rightful head of WWE
Roman sides with Vince and then Cody sees the light and flips to HHH side. Cody wins at WM40 becomes the champ and HHH takes his place as the sole leader
