5 Superstars that could replace Triple H as the top Authority Figure

The concept of Authority Figures has been a mainstay in WWE ever since the company’s inception. It peaked during the Attitude Era when Vince McMahon revolutionalised the character and turned it into the backbone of WWE.Ruthless Aggression and PG Era saw its fair share of Authority figures and now, Triple H alongside his wife is filling the role in the Reality Era.For more than a year, the fans have been witnessing Authority’s heel tactics and misuse of power. To be frank, Hunter has grown stale as the character and WWE needs to push in some freshness into the main event scene.There are many replacements for Hunter out there in the roster so here is a look at the best options that the creative has. 

#5 Undertaker

This might sound like a wild idea but this is the best way in which WWE could keep a big legend like Undertaker on television.

He is someone who stuck to the dead man gimmick for a long time but after his defeat at WrestleMania, WWE could easily recast Taker as a mere mortal. Taker is in no shape to compete even if it is for once in a year and at the same time he has too much aura to be kept out of the WWE programming.

Now that Lesnar is the world champion, Taker being the new authority figure would make compelling angle as the amount of tension between the two will be sky high.

WWE could also lead up to that farewell match if they wants to as it would be a better choice to keep him on television regularly than brining back all of a sudden without no buildup whatsoever.
