Let's be honest here, from a realistc point of view, his career ain't gonna last long now. How will his absence affect the ratings? Will the plummet that much? Who will the next "roman"?

They're really fucked in the short term. They've sacrificed absolutely everyone in the name of giving Roman the biggest push in the history of the company. Even though he's killed business, no one else comes close to being a big of a name as he is. NXT has completely shit the bed at creating new stars too so there's no one coming up that is really worth looking forward to

Instead of wasting them in MMM, they should really start building Manny and Dio as at least upper mid-card guys. Dio has the look and Manny’s got a decent build and can talk. They need to give Breakker his Steiner name back and get Big Poppa Pump to be his manager. Give Dominick some juice and actual ring attire, but keep him with Jusgement Day. Separate Solo from the Usos as soon as the Bloodline disbands, and keep him as a strong midcard guy. Pay Logan Paul as much money as necessary for him to become a full-timer. Start the Cena/Theory shit now, but end it with a sincere passing of the torch. Bring Axiom up and let him do his thing, same with Dragon Lee. Once Boogz returns, put him on his own, he can handle it. All of these guys have potential.

Manny and Dio stuck inside MMM are hopeless, but if MMM was disbanded, things would be hopeful. Hit Row never should’ve been brought back, but Pretty Deadly could be a good comedy team. Lower midcard guys, but you need those. They should bring up GiGi Dolin immediately, as well.

It'll just be a worst version of the previous, like always. Triple H wasn't Ric Flair during his reign of terror, Cena wasn't Hulk Hogan/The Rock, Reigns hasn't been Cena/Triple H. Who's in line to be the next guy? Cody couldn't stay over with the hardcore smarks which is pretty much the remaining viewers. Seth has been rejected what 2-3 times now being the top face.

That's what I hate about AEW the most. They didn't learn from TNA. Focus on building *YOUR* guys instead of jumping at the opportunity to sign a shit ton of ex-WWE guys. Newsflash, those ex-WWE guys didn't draw hence why they're "exes".

AEW just like TNA didn't learn from WCW's mistakes. Sure WCW had short-term success, but it was counter-attacked by WWE building new, fresh stars. Which both AEW and TNA didn't do, instead they sacrificed potential new stars to veterans.

anon there is constant droniE cultists' cope about Darby and Garcia and Yuta and Andretti being literal whos and "why are these nobodies on tv", because those guys are being built up and it's been so long for edrones they can't recognize what making a new star looks like anymore. what you said is just not true

I'm not sure there will be another one for a while, but Cody will hold down the fort for 2023 which will hopefully lead to a Gunther title reign by the end of the year, which will lead to a Bron Breakker title reign, which may be your answer.

I don't think it would hurt the company that much if he retired. Ofc there would be some damage because WWE has spent the last 10 years putting all its eggs in Roman's basket but it would soon recover because like it or not WWE still has a greater name value, brand recognition and financial backing than the other wrestling companies. Who could be the next Roman? Idk probably some NXT guy.
