Just a hypothesis.
This would be a great way to end RAW but you're giving the WWE too much credit.

There's a better chance that Young taps out to the STF and is kicked out of Nexus, never to be seen or heard from again.

I think they'll advertise the mystery GM revealing himself. Maybe at some point in the future, he'll send an email saying he'll announce his identity on the "next Raw".

Is it just me or does Young look like he uses a spray on tan?

Did King just call Darren Young, Daniel Bryan?

Looks like it's the Nexus 6 now. Darren Young is going back to FCW.

They wont do another invasion. At least half of them are locks for jobs, the other half will get a mix of future endeavoured, sent back to FCW or sneak in a contract thanks to making the right friends and saying the right things at the right times to the boss.

Kaval, Perfect Jr, IRS Jr, Riley and Cottonseed are locks for contracts imo.

HHH or HBK were my picks. HBK makes the most sense if they were out shopping for a new GM, though the hating Bret goes against the hug thing last year.

HHH if he wants to take time outside of the ring i can see working well, but i just dont see it as he is the kinda guy who will wrestle to the point he simply cannot wrestle anymore, unless its a case of him taking it easy then going back to the ring in the runup to WM cos there is no way he is missing that.

Vince it doesnt really make sense since he has been in the ring when an email was "sent" so it just looks dumb if its him, not they cant easily write around it. In general he said he wanted to retire from the front of the camera so i cant see it being him.

Jillian is actually a really good wrestler, at least as far as Divas go. Dont let her jobber status and terrible gimmick fool you, the only "unworthyness" she has is she has been jobbed out so many times no one can take her seriously.

I think Batista is the best option for GM and the man behind Nexus. HHH had his group, Orton had his group, it makes sense for Big Dave to be the man.

If you are gonna hire someone whose sole job is talking on the mic, would you hire Batista?

Batista was such an effective heel this year that the thought of him returning actually didn't make me wretch.

If this GM is going to be a heel...well, heels aren't exactly known for their high level of sincerity.

Tbh i dont think the GM is meant to be a heel, more of a tweener role. So whilst he is doing things like not having Bret wrestle he is also giving the crowd stuff they want, like the series of matches on Raw where interference wasnt allowed.

The only reason "he" is booed when the email sound goes off is because its a dumb segment people want rid of as having Cole read off a laptop is terribly unsatisfying. The specific decisions he makes are not clearly one sided heel GM decisions as would be expected if "he" was being pushed that way.

Agreed. I'm reminded of JJ Dillion. Although he was more of a face, he didn't really do anything to stop the NWO.

Actually, yes. I think the heel Batista is a great character.

I think it's a cover for the big reveal, where the GM and Nexus are in cahoots, perhaps ending in Cena getting taken out (for good hopefully).
