10 Insane Moves WWE Will Make To Save 2020

1. Go On The Attack

It's not really company policy to even acknowledge competition outside of bizarre "electric chair" segments or that one time they bantered TNA off the face of the earth during a random backstage skit on Raw in 2018, but WWE should throw that internal memo away with Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Title reign and send some ridiculous radge Jacksonville's way.

Odd that 'The Underdog From The Underground' featured in both those digs over the past few years considering his really rather rational and reasonable absence from television at the moment. Perhaps they saw him as an easy character to take shots through - Zayn's role as frustrated truth-teller was so good they had to abandon it less yet more of the audience agree with the central themes and switch the f*ck over.

War has worked wonders for WWE in the past. Vince McMahon got his monopoly in 2001 winning a big one that was then monetised on DVD and streaming services ad nauseam. NXT has lost to AEW in the Wednesday Night ratings battle most weeks since Dynamite began, apart from when the black-and-gold brand took it to Raw and SmackDown around Survivor Series.

Time to point the "tanks" at Daily's Place...
