7. WWE Buys Impact's Library

Some might wonder to themselves if the WWE Network will still be a thing five years from now. Everybody should hope it is. People can say what they like about the promotion's ongoing programming, but that library still offers the best value-for-money in the industry. There's something for everyone on there.

Could old TNA tapes be the next bulk upload?

Impact Wrestling has survived a seriously damaging PR stretch during which everyone and their dog declared the company a laughable failure. Any fans who check it out (even occasionally) now will see that Impact has something to offer. Even so, it's unlikely Vinnie Mac would be interested in what's happening in 2020 when he could have so much golden content from yesteryear.

Being able to stick old TNA pay-per-views featuring stars like AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Sting and more on the Network would surely be appealing to WWE. It might be inevitable that McMahon gets his mitts on TNA's archives within the next few years.
