I wouldn't be surprised if Vince steps down/is forced to go sometime soon

Vince actually owns 80.6% of the voting stock, because his 37.6% of the shares is majority class B. There is no way he can be voted out if anything unless he lets it happen.

So, according to you, the minimum consequence is that Vince steps down permanently and John is fired?

Yeah that's kind of what is implied by someone in that position committing Fraud

WWE issued a memo to talents Monday evening following “Raw” announcing that Senior VP Bruce Prichard will be taking over as the Interim Head of Talent Relations effective immediately, according to PWInsider.

The memo also informed talents that John Laurinaitis has been placed on “administrative leave” in light of the serious allegations made against him and Vince McMahon. The memo noted that Laurinaitis will not be on the road with WWE “pending the conclusion of our Board of Directors’ internal investigation.”

These aren't really investigations. They're all looking for people to start a class action lawsuit in the event there's a reason for it.

Should have had Jeff Jarrett become head of talent relations..he actually has the experience of a talent.

I mean they had her lose to Dana Brooke. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dana, but that was hilarious and sad.

Well...you know...

Good to see Becky win a match for a change.

Cool to see congrats from Y2J, DB, and Big Show even though they are all AEW guys now. Cena's promo was good even if in the end it was just him thanking the fans and really didn't do anything. Other then that the best backstage part was when he told Ezekiel to be "true to himself"

John Cena said much more than thank you to the fans.

I mean, he did say there would be more then one more match, which I'm looking forward to. I won't hide the fact that I have always been a huge Cena fan even when it wasn't cool. I regret not going to see him during the Summer of Cena but alas, COVID. I think it would be great in the moment if he came back at MITB, even though it wouldnt make any sense long term story wise.
