WWE: 10 Cliffhanger Raw Endings To Get Fans Buying The Network

9. A McMahon 'Whodunnit'

Vince McMahon is a year and a bit shy of 70. Is he about to retire? I highly doubt it, but the transition to Triple H and Stephanie is undoubtedly under way. Vince has bossed the WWE to great success over the last several decades and the Network era marks yet another major change. If he is after a symbolic time to step back a bit, then the launch of the new era could be the time to signify this. I don't think Vince is a man to go away with a soppy speech however. Instead I think he would much prefer to go out with a bang, much in the same way he tried to do in 2007 with his big death angle in the limo explosion. The McMahons are often used in major ways for special shows and they do spike ratings, so why not do a Vince McMahon death angle to end Raw, a good old fashioned 'Whodunnit' cliffhanger with the promise of it being resolved live on the Network. It could be done a bit along the same lines of Austin being run down in 1999. WWE loves to recycle angles, so they could redo it. Have Vince walking backstage in the parking lot, beaming with pleasure about the Network. All of a sudden a car mows him down. Wrestlers and officials gather around Vince as the drama unfolds, before the WWE doctor pronounces him dead. It could be seen as a bit too much, but as Eric Bischoff says, "Controversy creates cash." Just as Raw is about to go off the air, a stage hand could join the scene, revealing that the car has been stopped trying to leave the arena. Hunter could be stood facing the blacked out windows of the vehicle. "Go get my sledgehammer," he states, "I'm going in and getting this b******." Michael Cole then pipes up "Ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time, but if you switch to the Network now we will stay with this and see who the perpetrator is of this shocking and disgusting act of violence."
