What Is Left For The Authority?

The Authority has been one of the worst corporate stables the WWE has ever had. They started teasing friction within the group almost immediately after it was formed. They never stopped teasing that friction. I have a hard time even considering them a stable right now. Aside from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, there is only Seth Rollins. This isn't a stable.

To make matters worse, Triple H and Stephanie often come off as tweeners these days. They'll do certain things that seem to make them look like faces or neutral, then turn around and make a decision that is obviously heelish. What does that make the alignment of this supposed stable they are supposed to be in charge of? I have seen some fans say that the characters these two play are just exaggerated versions of how they act backstage. I won't argue against that. In the end, however, I would rather they just be heels. I am the kind of fan that typically likes heels over faces. I find Triple H and Stephanie's characters right now to be dull. For other fans, they might not know what to think of these two. Should we boo them? Cheer them? It can get annoying.

Outside of deciding what they want the leaders of the stable to be, there are two ways for The Authority to go. They have no real members to be considered a legitimate stable. Either add members or drop the angle and also drop Stephanie and Triple H as on-air authority figures. Is it really necessary to do that? The WWE just cannot make up their mind with these two, so I think introducing another authority figure might make things fresh.

If they decide to stick with the stable and add more members, whom should they add? Rusev and Summer Rae come to mind. He is a good brute. There is also Kevin Owens. Many consider him one of Triple H's guys. How about Noble and Mercury? Those guys were pretty much jokes. Kane? If Kane comes back and just reconciles with Seth Rollins, I may officially quit. Teasing friction is one thing, but Seth Rollins attacked Kane while he was already down. To just have Kane shrug that off and rejoin the group is pathetic.

If the WWE goes the path of ending the stable and get someone fresh to run things, whom should that be? Not Kane. He doesn't need that angle. I also would not go with Brad Maddox. I would still go with Lana. Some fans heard she was getting a big push and just expected to see something the WWE was never showing any signs of doing. But having her run Raw and Smackdown for a while would be quite possibly the biggest push she could get.

Which way would I go? I would officially end the stable and get someone new to run things. Remember the days when the McMahons would be around for a while, take a break, come back, and just repeat that cycle? Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were gone for a few weeks last year, but it was like they never left. The main angle still revolved around Seth Rollins trying to get them back. That has been roughly 2 years of these two running things and teasing all this tension with people that should to be on their side. Enough is enough. They have gone stale. Their inconsistency is annoying. I cannot think of one good reason why they should not take at least the rest of the year off. Come back for Wrestlemania next year. In the meantime, something fresh might happen.
