Vickie's Performance Evaluation

Another instance of the WWE trying to hype Raw up better these days. Not only is Bray Wyatt coming, but Vickie Guerrero is going to have a performance review on Raw tonight.

What direction should the WWE go with this? Will she be promoted to be the regular GM? Will she be relieved of the duties she does have? This could very well turn into the kind of situation when the WWE teased having Triple H get rid of John Laurinaitis over a year ago. That ended up getting interrupted. Who would interrupt Vickie's possible termination? The Shield? If they had not lost so much relevance in recent weeks, they would be a good option. The McMahons definitely do not seem to like the job Vickie is doing, in terms of the storyline they are running, so a change in the kayfabe status quo of Raw may not be surprising. Who takes over? The McMahons try to run things themselves? That could further a storyline of tension between all three even more. That would be a good idea. It would be better than just tossing in a new GM and nothing being taken to another level.

Does Vickie deserve to be replaced? I'm not talking in terms of the storyline right now. Just in terms of quality of the show, should she not be an authority figure? I think they should move on. I know she gets a ton of heat, but I know a lot of fans who have said that Vickie makes them want to change the channel. And Vickie does not really serve a unique role in the position she is in. What do I mean by that? Go back to when John Laurinaitis was running things. He was an executive. His issues with CM Punk made perfect sense with the storyline they were running at that time. What does Vickie really bring right now? They should find someone to be the GM that could actually add something more to the show. Get someone that can help them run some unique storylines for a while. Get someone popular that the fans would want to see. Get someone controversial that will make the fans want to tune in to see what happens next. Bring back Laurinaitis so the fans can see him get beaten up again. Right now, Vickie Guerrero doesn't offer any of these things. Personally, I just find her annoying at the moment.
