10 Things You’ll Never See In WWE Again

4. A Cross-Company Invasion

In 1997, Paul Heyman led his battle-weary ECW troops to the WWF's Monday Night Raw for some cross-promotional thrills. Four years later, it was WCW and ECW who joined forces as 'The Alliance' against Vince McMahon's enterprise. Both situations were rather unfulfilling.

Will something like that ever happen again? We doubt it. They were a product of the times, and WWE has grown so used to being the only show in town. Even if sh*t hit the fan with new kids on the block AEW and they came begging at McMahon's door like WCW did, it's hard to see WWE being interested in any cross-company invasion.

Not that an All Elite implosion is likely to happen any time soon, but you get the point here.

WWE exist in their own bubble. If anything, they've been trying to manufacture their own competition through splitting Raw and SmackDown, creating the successful underground phenom known as NXT and wheeling out that 'Us vs. Them' crap in time for Survivor Series every year.
