Baron Corbin has been the acting Raw General Manager for months, and on Monday night Stephanie McMahon announced that if he can defeat Braun Strowman at TLC then he will become Raw GM permanently.
At this point in time it’s not known exactly how things are going to play out as WWE recently confirmed that Braun Strowman is set to undergo elbow surgery, but it looks like WWE officials are already discussing possible replacements for Baron Corbin.
Mike Johnson discussed the Raw General Manager situation on PWInsider Elite Audio, and he noted that one of the ideas on the table could see Alexa Bliss take over as GM (via Ringside News).
“The impression that I have is that she went through some medical testing while she was in Los Angeles and that there was no clearcut indication that she was returning to the ring anytime soon. It doesn’t mean that it’s not going to happen. That’s to the best of my knowledge it’s not a Paige situation where she’s been permanently sat out, but it did seem like, ‘Ok in two weeks you’re going to be good to go, or in three weeks you’re going to be good to go.”
“It’s still very much up in the air. They’ll probably still keep testing her. There was some expectation backstage at Raw that when they come out of TLC Alexa Bliss will probably end up the General Manager of Raw which makes sense when you think about it but given how they change ideas so quickly I don’t know that definitely 100% the plan.”
