25 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (July 11)
2. So The Commissioners Are Going To Have General Managers?
Shane and Stephanie have to find two people to take charge of the week to week running of both SmackDown Live and RAW. Which means after fighting over the controllership of SmackDown Live, they're going to have somebody else calling the shots and reporting to them.
Also, aren't commissioners and general mangers exactly the same thing in WWE land? Yes. Yes they have been since the dawn of time.
More importantly though, is this the end of Vince McMahon as an on screen personality? Having Shane and Steph take on the roles of the higher powers, if you will, eliminates the need for Vince to be involved with storylines.
If either McMahon made a mess of things in the general manager role, they'd have Vince to answer to. Now, they're the people responsible for the general managers working under them.
Vince was also bringing up the "keys to the kingdom" in his promo with the pair too don't forget... Even though Vince McMahon will never die, he's immortal didn't you know, there could be more than initially meets the eye with this one...
