4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true & 3 we hope aren't: Unexpected superstar is now "the next" Brock Lesnar, 6-time champion expected to leave WWE soon

#2. Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon's successor in WWE decided?

Despite the lack of public appearances, WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan has been viewed in a negative light by many fans.

Perhaps this is because of reports that Khan was directly involved in the revamp of NXT to NXT 2.0, as well as supposedly having a say in the superstars who get released - a statement that he has disputed in an interview with Ariel Helwani.

That interview with Helwani remains a rare public video of Nick Khan - a man who works behind the scenes. When talking about Vince McMahon's successor, the two names who fans assumed were in the frontrunning was McMahon's son-in-law Triple H, and his son Shane McMahon.

However, with Shane not wanting to have backstage responsibilities since 2009, his stint with the company in the last few years has been an exclusive on-screen role.

While there is no word on why, Dave Meltzer revealed that Nick Khan is expected to be Vince McMahon's successor and not Triple H:

"It's kind of a board of directors thing, but you know, probably (Nick Khan replacing Vince McMahon), yeah. Unless they went and hired somebody else from the outside, but probably Nick Khan, yes," revealed Dave Meltzer.

We hope this isn't true because Khan wasn't involved in the wrestling business enough to replace the most important man in the history of the industry. While it's not known whether Triple H's recent cardiac incident is the reason, he would be a far more popular choice to succeed Vince McMahon.
