Vince McMahon's announcement could go sideways in so many ways!
Vince McMahon's announcement could go sideways in so many ways!

We all know that Vince McMahon will be appearing on the RAW after TLC. We all know that his appearance is a necessity, considering how ratings have tanked in recent weeks. But his appearance does not mean that everything will be hunky dory from TLC on. So much could go wrong, if the announcement doesn't sit well with the WWE Universe.

In this article, I shall mention 5 announcements that Vince McMahon should not make during RAW. Feel free to air your thoughts in the comments section. This is just my opinion so it's not like I'm guaranteed to be right at all.

I just hope that Vince McMahon's announcement ushers in a new era for WWE. This is because a reset is required with fan interest lapsing every week, for both brands.

Here are 5 announcements that Vince McMahon should not make, under any circumstances.


#5 Baron Corbin will be given another chance as RAW GM

Baron Corbin was entrusted with a role that he was not ready for. It was a bold step on WWE's part and Corbin tried his best to play the part of a corrupt Authority figure. Unfortunately, Seth Rollins' promo last week made Corbin the focal point for everything that was wrong with RAW.

Even if Corbin were to win at TLC, in my opinion, Vince McMahon needs to fire him the next night on RAW from his duties as General Manager. The whole shtick with the corrupt Authority figure storyline has run its course already. If anything, WWE needs someone likeable to lead their brand, going forward.

Corbin could go back to being a sports entertainer. Like he proved against Seth Rollins last week, he's much better in the ring now.

#4 That he's entering the ring to compete

I am not sure this is the wisest idea

People love to see a car crash. Vince McMahon is first a foremost a McMahon, so he knows no fear. Secondly, he's in great shape for his age and I know that if push comes to shove, he could have a match. The fact of the matter is that under no circumstances should he get back in the ring again.

The reason for this is simple. He never never Shawn Michaels even in his prime, and while he could put on an entertaining match, his skills would never cut it in the year 2018. Moreover, it takes away a spot from current talent who're waiting in the wings for the right opportunity to shine.

Imagine Vince McMahon wrestling while Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder don't have a place on RAW. It's not right.

#3 Lesnar will not defend the Universal championship at the Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar has not defended his Championship in his second reign at all. He is scheduled to face Braun Strowman, provided he can win the match at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Now let's assume for a minute that Corbin does win the match at TLC. Could Vince McMahon stipulate that Lesnar will miss the Royal Rumble pay-per-view?

Indeed he could and I would advise him not to. Of course, it would be a great heat spot for the WWE Universe. It would truly and firmly establish Brock Lesnar as a despised heel.

But I really want the Universal Championship to make an appearance at The Royal Rumble. Not having it as a part of the proceedings will significantly devalue the once-prestigious Championship.

If only Reigns had still been the Universal Champion...

#2 Retirement

I know that many of you think that Vince McMahon retiring will be a good thing for the sports entertainment industry. And everyone who thinks so is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion, Vince McMahon's retirement may not be the fairytale the IWC believes it to be.

Think about the fact that under his regime, wrestling went from a regional to an international audience. He's lasted generations and eras, and WWE is still the leading promotion in the world. And if you think that the product is not healthy, just look at the stock prices of the company which are very healthy indeed.

While Triple H may do a very commendable job as Vince McMahon's successor from a creative perspective, is there a guarantee that every aspect of WWE will remain as healthy? I just think that Vince and Hunter make a great team, and it is their combined effort that keeps the WWE business afloat.

#1 That Hulk Hogan will be the next RAW General Manager

What Hulk Hogan did is a matter too serious to be discussed in a fun article about RAW. I am in no position to pass judgement either for or against the man, at this stage. What I do know for sure is that a large section of the WWE Universe have not forgiven him for his actions. And for this reason, he should not be the next RAW General Manager.

The truth of the matter is that Kurt Angle is the man who should get his old job. It would be a cohesive end to what has been a pretty well told story. Bringing Hulk Hogan into the mix would just complicate things further.

Let's hope Vince McMahon doesn't announce any of these things on RAW. One can hope.

What do you think the announcement will be about?
