The archives of WWE's television programming have just gotten a whole lot more prestigious.

Come 20 January, 2017, WWE will be able to say that they've worked with a future President of the United States in a major way. WrestleManias IV, V, and 23 have already been discussed, but Trump has also made appearances at WrestleMania VII, the Hall Of Fame ceremony in 2013, and several episodes of WWE's flagship show Monday Night RAW.

As previously discussed, WWE is likely to take advantage of this fact by running their old clips and footage that features Donald Trump. Perhaps they'll avoid showing the President of the United States taking the worst Stone Cold Stunner in the history of Stunners or any other segments that would potentially come off as disrespectful to the Commander-In-Chief, but they will definitely make use of their footage.

Before long, fans are likely to see the clips of Trump shaving Vince McMahon's head, Trump tackling the WWE owner, and perhaps the President sitting ringside at numerous WrestleManias - all of it in hopes of growing their viewership and WWE Network subscription.
