10 BOLD Predictions For WWE In 2019
1. Several WWE Stars Will Leave To Join All Elite Wrestling
The Revival cannot be happy, and they must have learned of their fate by now. Really, they are as antithetical to WWE’s main roster as any act gets: they wrestle a superb update on the awesome southern style, they don’t sport Vince McMahon’s preferred physique, and they are a “they”: they are a tag team, and post-2017, their very genre is awarded with a maximum of 15 minutes on pay-per-view. A move to SmackDown may reverse their fortunes—but the Young Bucks don’t perform on the blue brand.
Zack Ryder is more of a WWE Superfan in reality than Eugene and Bayley were in fiction, but is best buds with All Elite’s very own Game in Cody. A chance to prosper—hell, actually wrestle— in a supportive environment must appeal to the Long Island Loudmouth who must, by now, have used his WWE money to complete his collection of toys.
Finn Bálor’s smile is as artificial as abs by rights should be, and his history with the stable the Elite spun off from would see him thrust into prominence. He’s also an incredible performer Vince McMahon. He needed convincing to join WWE in the first instance, so he can’t possibly have convinced himself that his career, his talent, warrants this.
Gran Metalik is far, far too good to play a noisemaker. Not, you know, an amazing pro wrestler who generated searing heat in Mexico, but the children’s musical instrument.
Some of these men aren’t getting any younger, and or seem like WWF lifers - but then, so was Chris Jericho.
