This would def add a little extra interest to what's going on. Though BNB hasn't been treated as seriously as he's had in the past him and Sheamus have great chemistry and Rusev as well but he's on the shelf as of right now. I would rather that affiliation continue than see Sheamus get the father son treatment from HHH that Randy and Rollins got before him. He's been more entertaining with Barret and I don't want to see him pegged into Authority role player.

You'd think, and it'd show the Authority actually growing for once, but for some reason they've spent most of their existence being the least forward-thinking, expansionist evil stable imaginable; they seem to only want the WWE title and even when they get it they feel the need to keep putting their chosen guy in situations where the deck's stacked against him and refusing to help out, seemingly for shits and giggles.

No, because that would make him almost entertaining. They'll simply plug him into the role Seth was going to continue to play.

Can the Authority just not be a thing though?
Like...just scrap all of it?
Because as they are, it doesn't make sense to me.
I mean...if I were the evil OWNER of an organization and people are screwing around with my golden boy, why would I not...just...fire...them after beating the living shit out of them for my amusement? Especially if there isn't much in the way of comparable competition for any of my employees "independent contractors" to go. It's not like the fans are going to leave.
Just the entire concept of it makes me go cross-eyed and I can't really get past how stupid it actually is if you think about it.
Coming from someone who likes Lucha Underground, by the way.

END THE AUTHORITY???!!!11 Are you crazy?! Do you have any idea what will happen to the ratings if we don't have long, enthralling, and generally fabulous Authority segments every week, with Steph doing what she does best? They are what the fans want, you can't deny them their Authority fix... |

Boy, if Rusev gets tainted by this Authority bullshit, I'm fighting the WWE writing staff.

They are what the fans want, you can't deny them their Authority fix... Not even then. They can keep Hunner and Steph on television. They can still have their champions and stuff. It just doesn't make any sense for them to run the company. Storyline-wise, no face who rises up against them should be standing any kind of chance. The fact they are just makes them look like incompetent evil owners, it doesn't make the faces look smart or savvy. And on another level, them actually running the company gives me that same feeling as when Michael Cole was doing his heel shit...but then tried to turn around and sell us a PPV featuring guys and gals he just spent 45 minutes burying in the booth. |

Sheamus with Barrett is the most entertaining he's been in years so of course WWE are going to shoehorn him into the Rollins role as corporate bore, cowardly heel.
Keep him a goofball palling around with Wade and, when he returns, Rusev (hell throw in Cesaro) and keep the Eurotrash stable going and just ignore Hunter and Steph.

Barrett will most likely be involved. Granted, it's gonna be as Sheamus' fall-guy/pre-match hype punch cushion, but Barrett will most likely be involved.

Before The Authority officially formed at Summerslam 2013, remember when Barrett was doing Vince's dirty work against Bryan and he was just forgotten after Orton and HHH's heel turns? I have a sad feeling this will be the second time Barrett is illogically left out of the evil boss stable.

I'd be a trillion times happier if Sheamus were to tell the Authority he's fine with being the face of the company or whatever, but he wants to do his own thing and doesnt need them meddeling

Bad News should've been in The Authority a long time ago The Authority's Public Relations Director. It would've given purpose to the "I'm afraid I have some bad news" catchphrase. |

It would make sense, so no.
Seriously. The Authority looked even crappier after Seth lost the army of people saving his ass and yet he was still booked like a chickenshit who needed saving.

Though Roman did single-handly beat the living f*** out of the three of them. |
