10 Predictions For WWE In 2020

6. Kane, Big Show, And All The Other '1990s' Superstars Will Retire

The only wrestlers from the 1990s still technically employed by WWE are: Big Show, Chris Jericho, Christian, Goldust, Kane, Mark Henry, Triple H, and the Undertaker. By 2020, all of these men will be gone. Whether it's from too many injuries, fading star power, or having done everything there is to do in WWE, none of these company loyalists will be wrestling by the time WWE enters a new decade.

Some of these men will be given proper send-offs befitting their storied careers: The Undertaker, Triple H, and arguably Kane and Chris Jericho, will all be given a fond farewell in front of the WWE Universe and their peers. The rest, however, will in all likelihood be given a short moment on some episode of RAW where they cut their final promos in front of the audience, and the fans show their respect and applaud their careers. They'll get their chance to say goodbye, but those farewell ceremonies won't be on the level of grandeur and significance as those first four Superstars.

By 2020, the only person who might still be a regular on WWE programming is Triple H, who might adopt a 'Mr.McMahon' sort of role (without actually wrestling). But that's a slim chance; in all likelihood he'll be way too busy with the WWE's many other successes to bother coming down to the ring and cutting long promos like he does now.
