So basically, Dwayne is engaging in a hostile takeover of the WWE?

Sure seems like it. He already tried it with DC and essentially succeeded in the Fast and Furious franchise.

Just a personal theory but it really seems like they're preparing to oust HHH. Perhaps he's going to be directly implicated soon, or he's going to be a victim of collateral damage, but bringing in Gerwitz as a "Plan B" for head writer is bullshit. They've probably already worked this out and it's just a matter of legalities now.

If Khan is smart he offers Trips and Michaels the book and control of AEW the minute they are let go from WWE,

Depends on what gets uncovered. Sure seems like the WWE is about to have all of their skeletons laid bare, and HHH and Michaels unfortunately are very likely to get ****ed (or they're just as guilty as McMahon) once Federal Prosecutors actually do a proper investigation. Grant only accounts for 3 million of the 18 Million Mahon paid out and that "investigation" they did in house seems more and more like it was just a sham to try and put this away quickly and quietly.

I would never think hunter will get busted he too into the family man routine. Plus he a nondrinker.

Sassy Squatch 02-05-2024 12:54 PM

Hunter doesn't need to be an active participant to be indirectly implicated. He's held various EVP positions since the Early 2010s with aspirations to one day head the whole company, and he didn't have an inkling his father in law was sex trafficking in the corporate offices? Bullshit

Yep, the WWE is basically going to be run by the Rock and his pals. If you notice once the Rock's show got cancelled and he lost his mind on WB and those execs didn't care..his DC movie bombed, he got ejected from fast and furious..and his personal disasters such as having to donate a bunch of money to the writers strike after he said something stupid..and Hawaii...

Seems to me like this guy is back to stroke his ego after some things didn't go his way.

Sassy Squatch 02-05-2024 01:04 PM

Thinking a bit on it, you know who almost certainly is going to be implicated if it goes to trial? Heyman. It's not a secret he handles almost everything for Lesnar both business wise and creatively. Not a chance he didn't know about Vince arranging for Grant to meet up with Lesnar.

TLO 02-05-2024 01:08 PM

Do you smell what the Rock is cookin?

If Trips goes then Michaels probably goes as well. I doubt Shawn was involved in any of it or even knew about it. Michaels would be a coup if WWE lets him go and Khan hires him. Dudes booking in NXT has been excellent.

Meltzer had a comment on it that someone that knows people who worked there basically said "everyone knew" and he was baffled that people are acting like this was a secret.

Sassy Squatch 02-05-2024 02:34 PM

I'm sure WWE/TKO were content to play it off that way, but Vince went full reerun and stiffed Grant on her NDA payment. Now it's public with Federal Prosecutors investigating and they may well have to raze the entire organization to the ground.

This isn't just contained to WWE either. TKO can't be too pleased their "investigation" was outed as a complete sham and they did next to no actual due diligence.
