Uh-uh.
We've been burned too many times before now for me to believe Vince is going to do anything of substance.
Vince comes out. He starts vague talking around the issue. Someone's music plays and interrupts him. Vince puts person in their place. Segment over, Vince never talks about what he appeared to talk about.
This is a cheap ploy to pop a rating before the holiday episode ratings tank for two weeks in a row.

He's going to announce that Smackdown will now be the lead show and everyone left on Raw will be automatically drafted into the XFL.

Calling it now, Corbin's getting replaced with Hogan as GM. I'll take it. Mercy kills Corbin's abysmal GM run and then in six months they'll realise Hogan has nothing of value to offer and won't stop the ratings slide, so his old orange ass can finally be thrown on the scrap heap for good.

Vince announces that point totals will be attached to all wrestlers and the results will send them to the bad place (Raw) or the good place (smackdown). Also new gm, Ted Danson. I’ll never miss another episode.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet:
Remember, next week's Raw is a double taping. So whatever "shake up" Vince carries out this Monday, we'll be able to see whether it changed anything significant going forward from the 2nd show.

I’m not sure what could be done to really shake things up in any meaningful way, short of Vince going full scorched earth and going “I’m retiring, I’m vacating all the titles and half of each roster is fired”.

Coming off the announcement that Vince McMahon will be appearing on Monday's RAW, Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com discussed how WWE could be planning something big to get viewers engaged in the product again: “For those of you who hate RAW, all I’m going to do is tell you that the belief within WWE is that — take this for what it’s worth — they believe it is all turning around in January. Apparently, they have some sort of idea and they think it’s all turning around in January and that the ratings in January are going to be good again. The show is going to be better and something big is going to happen.” “Of course, everybody is going to be speculating all sorts of crazy things. Young Bucks, this, that. Don’t get your hopes up, everybody.” “I don’t know what they’re thinking, but they seem to believe that in January, this thing’s turning around.” lol ok January... New Japan's biggest show is in January... Is Vince going to run some kind of huge free show on January 4th? Or is he going to blow up another limo?

If you folks keep pushing the ideas of new authority figures and roster shuffling, you may just find yourself head of WWE Creative.

Remember that time he was in a rocking chair? I wanna see it again, but this time he's drooling.
Then, Brock Lesnar can tell him "The party's over Grandpa!", followed by Ron Simmons saying "DAMN!"

The return of Raw Supershow with both Brands or a superstar shakeup which won’t fix the real problem of them needing to overhaul the way they write tv. I'd still really hate to see the brand split end. It’s inevitable 1st they stop doing single brand PPV shows,then both brands are on raw and then SD,they start unifying titles it’s an easy fix then actually addressing what’s wrong with the company especially with the move to Friday nights on FOX.WWE’s current ratings woes isn’t really a new problem it’s years and years of mistakes finally biting them in the butt people watch stuff out of habit and a show can make tons of bad decisions and it usually takes awhile for people to give up it’s even gotten to the point that even my non-smart friends know nothing matters till Rumble and once Mania is over WWE stops trying.I truly believe WWE needs an overhaul and they need to treat their product as important and not throw in the towel just because something else is on another channel because that sends a message to the fans watching. I stopped watching raw in the early summer I’ve watched 2 shows in the last 6 months and what you realize once you stop watching is how easy it is to do so and I don’t miss it.I skip SDL a lot of weeks and I’ve never watched less PPV’s in my life and I sub to the network and it’s not that I hate wrestling it’s I hate what wrestling has become they have so much talent yet I don’t care about any of them the way they are presented on tv and their focus on work rate and moves has killed my interest when all I want is characters I care about having interesting stories that play out in an episodic nature in a show that’s atleast 70% fun.People watch wwe to enjoy themselves they don’t want stories about misery,death,alcoholism,urination,etc.

The timing of this is a good point actually. Why have Vince issue some sort of edict right before 2 weeks of Christmas and New Year's? I'd just have the next Raw be a show where they kick Corbin to the curve and just do some stuff. What do you even do with Corbin after this? The guy is flat out scorched earth. He has literally been pointed out on TV as being the #1 reason for all time ratings lows and for the crappy quality of the show. How could anyone recover from that?

They're not in a Smark Central city this week (Seattle?) so it's safe for Vince to go out.
He'll get the hero worship and try to be meta and fail.
He'll praise Corbin for the cheap heat.
That's what will likely happen.
What I'd like to see is the crowd turn their backs to the ring through the entire entrance and even when he starts talking. No one turns around until he strips Lesnar of the Universal title to get it back on Tv or he takes a locker room full of finishers.
Right now, shaking up the authority figures won't help and a roster shake up might not either.
Regardless, it's not going to help, no one will be happy and here we are.
