Every time the McMahons make an appearance on live TV, things either go for the best or the worst. Be it Vince, Shane, or Stephanie the WWE Universe is always subject to a shocking decision. Two days back, WWE posted on twitter about the RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon appearing on the next episode of Monday Night Raw to deliver a historic announcement.
Rumors have started flying around about what ground-breaking announcement it could be. As the undeniable face of Women's Revolution, Steph's last major announcement led to the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble Match in January this year.
WWE has been teasing a plethora of possibilities over the past few months with Baron Corbin becoming the constable of RAW, Hulk Hogan getting reinstated into the Hall of Fame among others. Speculations are growing stronger every day about what bombshell she drops come next Monday. But there's no denying that whatever the announcement may be, its direct impact will be on the roster and the fans as well.
With all said and done, here are four potential announcements Stephanie McMahon can deliver on the 23rd July episode of Monday Night Raw.
#4 An all-women's WWE Network PPV
According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, WWE is seriously considering holding an all women's PPV later in 2018.
WWE officials are internally discussing the idea of presenting an all women’s event for main roster talent in the fall...The idea of an all women’s show taking place in late September or October is seriously being kicked around by higher-ups.
It’s unclear if the event would additionally feature some of the women on the NXT roster, outside talent or former stars… because the show hasn’t been set in stone just yet.
If the company's current booking for the women competitors is taken into consideration, a women's pay-per-view is the perfect step going ahead. With athletes like Ronda Rousey, Charlotte, Asuka, Sasha Banks along with others, the stacked up roster is sure to sell out any arena.
To one-up on the rivals Impact Wrestling, who has already hosted a similar event in 2013, WWE is in prime position to reshape and give a fresh dynamic to the women's division who are giving their hundred percent to remain relevant and be on par with the male superstars.
#3 Rekindling the rivalry with Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey's rivalry with Stephanie McMahon has been the talking point of 2018. Since her arrival at the Royal Rumble in January this year, things between the two polarising female personalities of WWE haven't been going too smoothly. Their verbal altercations led to a match at WrestleMania where Rousey teamed up with Kurt Angle to defeat Stephanie and Triple H.
The last meeting between Rousey and Stephanie had the former trapping the "Billion Dollar Princess" in a vicious arm-bar which received an immense reaction from the crowd.
While Angle has currently suspended Ronda, Stephanie can make a ground-breaking announcement for her match against Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam. Be it the commissioner being the guest referee or another shocking stipulation; one thing is for sure- the feud between Ronda Rousey and Stephanie McMahon is far from over.
#2 A new RAW General Manager
Kurt Angle's appointment as the RAW General Manager received a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe. One of the most technically skilled wrestlers and a legend of the business, Angle's run as the GM has been more than satisfactory. Barring a few botches on the mic, his babyface personality helped build a plethora of rivalries with The Miz, Kevin Owens, and most notably The Authority (Triple H and Stephanie McMahon).
With Angle possibly returning to in-ring action for one last time, WWE might be looking to have a new GM in place of him. But who could it be? The legendary Hulk Hogan has fortunately made his place back into the WWE Hall of Fame after a 3-year ban due to racial remarks made by him earlier. Fans would love to see Hogan in a new role, and a repackaged Hogan can redeem for the controversies he had in the past.
As for Angle, his firing at the hands of McMahon can be a blessing in disguise in the form of a dream match against Triple H. Now that would be fun to watch, isn't it?
#1 Women's Tag-Team Championships
As earlier discussed, WWE is making a concerted effort to put the women performers on par with their male counterparts. After having different women's championships for the respective brands, next in line come the Women's Tag-team Championships.
Over the course of time, various duos like Lay-Cool, Bella Twins, and most recently The IIconics have come up hinting the possibility of having the new titles in the form of tag-teams.
The Bella Twins and The IIconics even began a bit of Twitter spat earlier this year in response to WWE's tweet over the shocking decisions Paige can take as the new General Manager of SmackDown Live.
It'll be no surprise if women get their due credit in the form of new titles. They have put on quality matches on a consistent basis, and the tag titles will truly give them something worth to fight for, at least.
