At Payback, viewers have been told that Vince McMahon will choose once and for all who is going to run Monday Night Raw for the foreseeable future. He will pick between his own children, Shane and Stephanie. Right now, the smart money has to be on Shane.

Alongside Triple H, Stephanie has been ruling with an iron first over the flagship show for years. The Authority could have another rebirth somewhere down the line, but this is an opportunity to give that direction a rest for the next while.

Shane would be refreshing as a genuine babyface authority figure, or at least a more impartial one.

Perhaps WWE could even have Stephanie move exclusively to SmackDown, furthering the idea that the 'Brand Extension' is set to make a comeback. On Raw, Shane would embrace AJ Styles as a fresh champion, whereas Roman Reigns could unthinkably side with those he once hated.

Whatever does end up happening, Shane is the more exciting choice for Vince at Payback.
