5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Surprising update on Vince McMahon's retirement, WWE making controversial change to SmackDown?

#1. Hope is true: Vince McMahon to slowly step away from WWE

An inevitable end?

Vince McMahon is now 74 years old and many fans keep wondering when the day will come that he steps down. However, there's no man in the world who works harder than he does and he has openly stated that he never wants to retire.

However, the day will have to come when he does step down or rather "steps back". The coming of XFL in 2020 has clearly indicated that his role in WWE is going to wind down inevitably.

According to Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue, there have been major talks over Vince McMahon and his role in WWE. One source told Colohue that while McMahon doesn't want to step down or let go, he knows that it's the right move and that he has a lot of faith in his team.

Moreover, he has three very important figures for three different shows - Paul Heyman for RAW, Eric Bischoff for SmackDown Live and Triple H for NXT.

Actually Vince is just going to run the #XFL and have general oversight of decision making from the three showrunners he has already selected.#Raw has Paul Heyman.#SDLive has Eric Bischoff.#NXT has Triple H.#WWE will be fine without Vince McMahon. https://t.co/ys6RRnyYOb

From what it looks like, if he doesn't fully step down, he'll be overseeing the happenings of WWE at most. XFL seems to be his next long-term commitment and we hope it's true because it's time for a change.
