5 people who could replace Triple H & the McMahons as WWE authority figures

#2 Lio Rush

Lio Rush burst onto the main-roster scene in September 2018 when he surprisingly became a ‘hype man’ for Bobby Lashley. Within a couple of weeks, his babyface promos turned more villainous and the duo have since formed one of the biggest heel alliances on Raw over the last six months.

As the months have gone on, tensions have mounted between the two men and it would not be a surprise if WWE decided to split them up in the Superstar Shake-Up. After all, Rush has now overseen Lashley losing the Intercontinental Championship to Finn Balor on two occasions, with Balor even pinning Rush to win the title back in February.

Moving forward, “The Man of the Hour” is destined to become a breakout star on his own, without Lashley, in WWE one day, and a General Manager role would certainly help his character grow even more. The question is whether now is too early in his career to take on that position.
