>>11451387It's going to happen. Vince always liked him as his 1B. HHH is mellowed out at this point and the stiffy he'll have from not only taking Cody but Phil is too good to put up with. Phil went an apologized to Miz and HHH as well.
I feel like he knew from the Hangman feud that he made a big mistake and signed with a company that was never trying to compete, run as a glorified indy with TV and scattered with manchildren. You can see the shift from his anti-WWE stances.
It'll be a big deal, Meltzer and Alvarez will downplay it like they will the eventual free-fall from attendance and merch sales that AEW is going to have. They'll still be on TV, I'm sure. But everyone knows that they'll never be competition to WWE. Even now, Vince doesn't give a shit about keeping people anymore. Remember when guys could get huge deals off AEW, he's willing to let them because he knows within like two months they're going to realize it's run by an idiot.
