Early in the show Vince said it would be a "night we'll always remember." Yep. It is. My immediate reaction is that this is a great angle. Essentially this means the Mr. McMahon character is over and is replaced by Triple H. It works because I think Vince's character had grown stale while corporate Triple H has a lot of freshness to it. He can start off as a babyface, but perhaps he'll be a heel long term. We don't know. Like I said above it will probably lead to the return of CM Punk sooner rather than later. Hunter could publicly call out Punk for a negotiating session live on Raw, so Punk shows up through the crowd with the WWE Title and you can build up to his return that way. His issue was with Vince. Hunter can try to bring him back by doing things his way. The possibilities are endless now.
Lost in the Hunter-Vince story was Cena's performance. I really liked his speech. It was one of his better ones because it felt like John Cena the man instead of Cena the cartoon character. I liked the "brother" line that was a Hulk Hogan/TNA reference too. Did not expect that. They never acknowledge TNA. I'm sure Dixie thinks it's real haha.
I thought the matches were okay although they were short for a reason. They fell flat early on, but the semifinals definitely picked up the pace. I'm assuming we still get Mysterio vs. Miz for the WWE Title next week. Maybe it won't happen, though. It was a Vince idea. Perhaps it will be ended. We don't know.
We're going to go into next week not knowing what the future holds. How is Triple H, new CEO, going to run things? I like not knowing. It keeps people tuned it. Call me crazy, but I'm excited about the future of WWE. Bring it on. Let's have some fun with this.
Thanks for reading.
