10 Big Problems WWE Faces After WrestleMania 32
6. Do They Remove The Authority From Power Permanently?
Since around SummerSlam 2013, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have led various incarnations of The Authority on WWE television. A true power couple, the husband and wife duo have been the law on Raw and SmackDown for the longest time now. A great number of fans are crying out for some changes to be made in that regard.
There's always the chance that The Authority could make a return someday, but it's probably the right time to put them out to pasture. WWE may be loathe to do this though, because having a heel power figure in charge is an easy booking trope to rely on each and every week. Without that, the company may find it difficult to write scenarios whereby top babyfaces end up in peril, because they're now so used to leaning on the Authority crutch.
If the 'Brand Extension' does make a return, shifting the heel group to SmackDown would be another option. Shane McMahon would control Raw, whilst Triple H and Stephanie (more so the latter) would call the shots on the Thursday night show. It's all food for thought, but The Authority story has more than run its natural course.
