What if WWE went bankrupt?

#2 All Elite Wrestling strikes

The Elite would have a unique opportunity to truly take over the wrestling world.

With Cody Rhodes and company filing for intellectual property rights for All Elite Wrestling and related enterprises, rumors abound that they’re about to make a go of it with a new wrestling promotion.

Details are sketchy for now, and in Rhodes commenting that the project will be bigger than anyone expects, there is some intrigue about what exactly this business might look like.

Whatever Rhodes and his partners have planned, if WWE were to go under, we can bet that they’d make some major adjustments.

Rhodes and The Young Bucks proved with All In that they could sell out a major arena and promote a successful PPV and streaming event on their own.

Without WWE as an obstacle, and with millions of orphaned fans for the taking, The Elite may well capitalize with the most aggressive expansion they can muster in as short of a period of time as possible.
