Vince McMahon’s surprise return to the creative side of WWE has been a hot topic of conversation since it happened. Despite promises that he wouldn’t be involved in creative, McMahon’s appointment to the company’s Board of Directors and his subsequent merger with UFC led to him regaining creative control.
During this week’s WWE RAW, McMahon reportedly made significant changes to the show, including pulling Bayley from Damage CTRL’s match. Fans were surprised by this, given the stable’s dominance in recent months.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, McMahon decided to pull Bayley from the match due to a plan to break up Damage CTRL. The report also noted that McMahon only saw a little in IYO Sky or Dakota Kai, so it’s possible that they will be let go as part of the shakeup.
In fact, Bayley’s own tweet suggests that Damage CTRL was being disbanded. “The whole damn company can’t handle Damage CTRL,” she wrote, “so now we have to handle each other.”
While Triple H has brought several wrestlers back to WWE after McMahon fired them, it remains to be seen if they will fit into McMahon’s creative vision. McMahon’s opinions on wrestlers are famously hard to change, so those who were previously let go may find it difficult to win him over.
The situation has reportedly upset many backstage, with some top superstars even considering requesting their release from the company. It’s unclear what the future holds for Damage CTRL and other wrestlers impacted by McMahon’s return to creative, but it’s clear that his influence will be felt across the company.
McMahon’s return to creative control has caused ripples throughout WWE, with many people unhappy with his sudden involvement. Some top superstars are said to be considering requesting their release from the company due to the situation.
It’s worth noting that McMahon has a history of firing wrestlers who need to meet his creative vision, and his opinions on wrestlers are known to be difficult to change. While Triple H has brought back some wrestlers who were let go by McMahon, it remains to be seen if they will fit into the company’s new direction.
Overall, it’s clear that the situation is still developing and that many wrestlers and fans alike are anxious about the future of the company. However, with McMahon back in creative control, there’s no doubt that things are about to change.
