Vince McMahon must stop taking his fans for granted if he's to regain even a modicum of trust in his leadership. He loathes you, the wrestling fan, and that's why he abuses your dedication by withholding gratification, ignoring any and all feedback, and persisting with his plans and his guys whatever the cost. This means there's a very real chance of someone like Baron bloody Corbin not only walking away with the briefcase, but cashing in on Kofi Kingston or Seth Rollins on the same night.

Try not to throw up while thinking about that.

WWE's failure to inspire long-term devotion is one of their greatest modern failings, and it often feels like the promotion are punishing you for investing. They do this with booking decisions like James Ellsworth being the deciding factor in the first women's MITB ladder match. In 2019, they must resist the urge to crown Baron Corbin, or have Zelina Vega do an inverted Ellsworth and snatch the briefcase (as entertaining as the social media meltdown would be). Matches should reach satisfying outcomes, investment should be rewarded, and the audience shouldn't be provoked.
