12 Very Possible WWE Headlines From November 2020

12. WWE Hires Kurt Angle And Daniel Bryan As Training Directors At NXT

By 2020, Kurt Angle will be 51 years old, and frankly, if not paralyzed from a freak in-ring injury, he'll certainly be at a point where he'd be more than ready to completely leave the ring. As well, by 2020, Daniel Bryan will be damned near 40, and after a proper in-ring farewell at WrestleMania, will be looking at a life with his now-retired wife Brie and a series of WWE ambassadorial duties. Thus, the idea of these legendary in-ring performers getting involved with WWE as "training directors" is an idea that should be explored. If you're watching Breaking Ground on the Network, you've noticed just how streamlined WWE's process has become. The Performance Center is part wrestling school, part finishing school, part OVW-like territory and part self-contained and stand-alone wrestling brand within the WWE Universe. Thus, for the purposes of streamlining methods and assessing talent, the job of "training director" -- aka someone to be the boss of the trainers and head trainers -- must exist. These people being legendary and respected pro wrestlers makes all of the sense in the world.
