There is one way WWE can fight back, and that is through solid storytelling, with stellar characters. Let's explore those characters.
#4 Mr. McMahon
Vincent Kennedy McMahon is synonymous with professional wrestling, paving the way for all modern wrestling promotions. Moreover, he gave rise to the dominant WWE promotion. Since the early 1980s, McMahon helped birth Hulkamania and warred with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The latter which McMahon purchased in 2001.
During the Attitude Era, WWE and WCW were at war for control of Monday night television. Every week fans would switch between Monday Night Raw and Monday Night Nitro. Notably, one character they would witness was Mr. McMahon and his legendary battles with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Quite literally, Austin and McMahon's feud was groundbreaking.
In the modern age, Mr. McMahon has remained a crucial element on Raw and SmackDown television. Recently on SmackDown, he stared down Roman Reigns, who would knock him down.
Their interaction was reminiscent of the Attitude Era. With the impending battle between WWE and AEW, McMahon must act. Fans need to see Mr. McMahon just like during the Attitude Era. What can we expect?
