In a spoiler from this week's Smackdown taping, Triple H announced that if Team Cena loses at Survivor Series then every member of the team will be fired from WWE. That would mean Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan would all be off television should they lose. This was a great stipulation for the WWE to add. It makes the stakes that much bigger, as now both sides have something on the line. Previously, Mr McMahon had announced that if Team Authority loses, then The Authority would be out of power. That would mean Triple H and Stephanie McMahon taking a break from television. Whatever happens on Sunday, the stipulations mean that something big is going to change in WWE. The immediate conclusion might be that Team Cena are definitely winning at Survivor Series. After all, can you really imagine WWE writing out the Cena and Ryback characters right now? Of course not. However, what we could end up with is a classic pro wrestling swerve. Perhaps Team Authority get the win, thus meaning Stephanie and Hunter stay on television and Team Cena are no more. The next night on Raw, Mr McMahon returns and announces he has reinstated Team Cena. That would then start the Vince Vs Authority storyline that has been rumoured for WrestleMania 31. That narrative would unfold as a power struggle, with Mr McMahon bringing back a famous wrestler to take on The Authority's pick at WrestleMania 31. Whoever comes out winner, gets control of the WWE. It is something that has been rumoured for a while, with some speculation suggesting that Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock had been contacted for the role of McMahon's babyface hero. Indeed, this idea was first meant to happen at WrestleMania 30, with Austin representing McMahon. Those talks fell apart and the story was dropped. It is now unlikely that Austin would ever wrestle again. Contrastingly, there's a good chance that The Rock could fulfil this role. He had a stare-down with Triple H on Smackdown recently and both men have expressed interest in working with each other. We'll have a much better idea after this weekend. Will Team Cena be fired? Will The Authority be no more? At Survivor Series we are going to get all the answers and hopefully a thrilling match.
