#2 The storyline possibilities are endless

With Bischoff and Heyman now taking the helm on SmackDown Live and Monday Night Raw, the doors have opened up for a string of possible storylines down the line. Fans have been critical of WWE's recent storylines, most notably Baron Corbin chasing the Universal Title and Shane McMahon defeating the likes of The Miz and Roman Reigns.

If WWE uses Heyman and Bischoff in an on-screen capacity, it gives them a chance to create some intriguing storylines. WWE can even rehash a bunch of old storylines, with the new generation of wrestlers taking the spots that once the likes of Lesnar, Cena, and Punk used to be in, against Heyman and Bischoff. With these two men back in the mix, WWE can kick off a major brand-wars storyline that could go on for months, and culminate at Survivor Series 2019, much like how it was done with WWE vs The Alliance in 2001. As said before, the possibilities are endless.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
