A few weeks ago, Corbin made a match between Rhyno and Heath Slater, with a stipulation that the looser gets fired. Slater won the match, which meant Rhyno was fired. A regretful Slater then meets Corbin backstage, where he is informed that he is no more a superstar, and has to become a referee.

Now that Corbin is out of power and a new GM would be appointed as mentioned in the previous slide, the new authority could give superstar status back to Heath Slater.

#2 Back to 2 hours

RAW had a much deeper fall in ratings as compared to SmackDown, mainly because of its 3 hour show format. While the third hour generates a lot of revenue for RAW, it also results in the lacklustre and out of place booking for the whole three hours.

Some of the writers have come forward in defense of the bad shows, stating that it is hard to write a three hour show on a weekly basis, while keeping it crisp and entertaining.

All of these could result in Vince finally giving up on the third hour, and making the show a two hour show, as he could generate the revenue from TV deals and Saudi events.
