Alternate wrestling Wiki

 Welcome to the !

There should be no NXT UK. WWE Network should stream PROGRESS, WXW and ICW shows and then do occasional network special PPV-type event that spotlights the scene with WWE production.

WWE purchase
FOX purchased WWE's 50% stake for $2.25 billion on April 28, 2019. Walt Disney Company purchased WWE's 45% stake for $1 billion on April 28, 2019. The McMahon family (Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H) would keep a minority stake (1% each) in the company and will still be part of WWE's Board of directors and still retain executive and creative positions. WWE wanted FOX to purchase some stake in WWE.

FOX & Walt Disney Company do not want WWE's overall product or product content to change much, and is happy to take continue WWE's more mature content, different from Walt Disney Co.'s "very family oriented content". Walt Disney Company and FOX want to put a [WWE] structure in place that ensures profitability and have better distribution of their products (PPVs on ESPN, better toys at cheaper prices, etc). They'll have greater oversight into decisions that are made (i.e. Jim Ross and Paul Heyman won't be fired because Stephanie McMahon doesn't like them) and they'll invest resources into ensuring its survival (spending more money to put on more shows in Canada, Mexico, Western Europe). Vince's campaign to change WWE from rasslin to sports entertainment fits in *perfectly* with Disney's core business. Walt Disney Company would be at its peak creativity and change WWE's framework to allow for more cohesive storytelling and lack of randomness. Walt Disney Co. and FOX kept some of WWE's staff especially when it comes to Live Events to ensure operations run smoothly

FOX/Walt Disney Co.-owned will result in a a physical Hall of Fame, an attraction at all Disneyland parks, WWE programming on Walt Disney Co.-owned cruise ship (similar to Jericho's cruise ship) and more crossovers between WWE wrestlers and Walt Disney Co.'s film/TV production companies. Disney-owned WWE agreed to a 5-year deal with News Corp to put a few WWE programming (such as WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown) on Fox.

Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit defeats CM Punk at Vengeance to become the New ECW World Champion. Benoit is victorious against CM Punk again in the return match at Great American Bash. After picking up victories on ECW in non-title main event matches against other up and coming talent, Benoit defends his title against Johnny Nitro in an Extreme Rules Match at Summerslam and picks up the victory after making Nitro tap out to the Sharpshooter. A new #1 Contender's tournament for the ECW World Championship is held after Summerslam, in which Benoit hand picks the participants from the ECW Roster. The final of the tournament comes down to CM Punk and the now rebranded John Morrison, but after a controversial finish, Benoit's next title defence is a triple threat match against both Punk and Morrison at No Mercy, which Benoit narrowly picks up the win by pinning Morrison. CM Punk cuts a promo demanding one more title match and Benoit agrees. CM Punk finally defeats Benoit at Survivor Series to win the ECW World Championship. Benoit has his rematch the following episode of ECW in the main event, but Punk wins after Chavo Guerrero interferes and knocks down Benoit, draping an unconscious Punk on top of Benoit to get the win. Punk isn't happy with the way the match ended and wants to give Benoit another match, but Chavo and Morrison are in cahoots with eachother. This sets up a tag team match at Armageddon with Benoit/Punk against Chavo/Morrison. If Chavo/Morrison win, Benoit can't get another title shot and Punk defends against Chavo and Morrison. If Punk/Benoit win, then they face eachother for the title.... Chavo and Morrison win, thus keeping Benoit out of the title picture as Punk goes on to feud with Chavo and Morrison for the title. Benoit is delegated to a run of mid card matches against random ECW Talent, picking up wins and putting on great matches, until finally he gets one last chance to become ECW World Champion by going up against Chavo Guerrero (who eventually dethroned Punk) on ECW, in what turns out to be his final ECW match, as Benoit loses cleanly and he and Chavo embrace after the match without saying a word. Benoit has his final match at WrestleMania XXIV in a one on one match against CM Punk. Chris Benoit makes Punk tap out to the Crossface and he quietly retires after that. He then opens up his Wrestling School in Georgia in April 2008, passes away of a heart attack not long after, and is inducted into the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame the following year.

Nancy would've continued to manage Chris' legacy and likeness in the way that Ultimate Warrior's widow does for him. She may have even been offered a backstage role in WWE or something on-screen like that, like Vickie Guerrero...Daniel and his brother David would've done everything they could to follow in their father's footsteps, training to become wrestlers and hoping they one day became the Tag Team Champions (David confirmed this in the Dark Side of The Ring documentary).
