#1 WWE purchases Impact Wrestling
Every year, people say this will happen, but despite this, Impact find a way to survive. The brand has suffered a lot in recent years, as WWE has continued to grow. Even now, former Impact champions such as Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre and Lashley have turned to McMahon's welcoming arms.

So what would happen if WWE made the buy? Well, money is not an issue, Vince McMahon has more than enough. As for what they'd receive, who knows? The entire digital library of Impact would make great viewing for WWE fans who may never have seen Joe-Angle, or AJ-Roode. The contracts would probably come as well, leading no doubt, to some dream matches.
It'd be the biggest merger since the WWF bought WCW in 2001, and whilst fans say how it left WWE without competition, there'd still be plenty around if Impact was bought, just ask New Japan.
