By the end of 2018, the WWE Universe had grown tired of Baron Corbin and his antics as the General Manager of Monday Night Raw. A huge drop in weekly TV ratings forced the McMahon family to address the fans on an episode of Raw.
Vince came out first, followed by Stephanie, Triple H, and Shane McMahon. The family addressed the issues the fans had been having with Monday Night Raw, and promised that change is coming. The McMahons took control of both shows and stated that the WWE Universe will be the authority going forward.
Corbin was removed from his authority position, and the crowd reaction throughout this segment made it clear that the fans were incredibly happy with the McMahon family. Usually, the McMahon family is portrayed as heels on TV, but this was one of those rare occasions when they received the biggest pop of the night.
Yet another masterstroke from Vince McMahon to keep the WWE universe hooked.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
