10 Candidates For WWE's Bizarre Post-WrestleMania 37 Push
10. Chris Masters
Something strange is happening with Vince McMahon, and if you want to get conspiratorial about things, it's likely that Bruce Prichard has something to do it.
Since Brother Love rocked back up in WWE, Vince McMahon has regressed to an old headspace. Regrettably, not one in which he was effective. That would take him back 21 years. Looking at the complexion of RAW and SmackDown in 2021, it is as if NXT never happened and never informed the main roster. Edge, Drew McIntyre, The Miz, Bobby Lashley, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Sheamus: all of these acts are at the top of the card, and none debuted in the NXT system. Under this theory, with one eye on the throne of the empire, Prichard is campaigning to undermine Triple H's decade of toil and vanish it altogether.
It's as if Prichard is whispering in Vince's ear when Trips isn't looking.
"Do do do Ricochet is too small...Well, you know, Andrade isn't fluent...Aleister Black just isn't connect-eeng motherf*cker...and then the Performance Center bell rang..."
With the exception of the Women's division, Vince is more likely to push a guy that the part-timers of the 2010s replaced rather than any name "promoted" from NXT.
With that in mind, Chris Masters - who at 38 might actually be too young, come to think of it - will get the big push in RAW's retro body guy division.
