10 Nightmares That Could Come True In Vince McMahon's New WWE

9. Mass Roster Layoffs

The knock-on effect of this would be several names (at least) leaving the company and heading for pastures new. Wrestling news sites were littered with conjecture about post-WrestleMania layoffs before the mega-event(s) anyway, and so it'd come as a shocker if WWE didn't purge the roster soon-ish.

Vince might hurry that process up.

It's been said before, but Endeavor do have previous when it comes to favouring bottom line over everything else. The new overseers probably wouldn't blink if a solid chunk of wrestlers walked out the door and eventually found work in AEW/ROH, IMPACT, New Japan or the independent scene before summer.

Wrestlers come and go, which is fine, but nobody wants to see hardworking men and women lose their jobs just because of some power struggle near the top. That'd be rubbish, and (as always) it'd force some out the door who have bags of unrealised potential.

What a depressing thought, eh?
