5 Replacements for Ava as NXT General Manager after her WWE exit

The Rock’s real-life daughter, Ava, is no longer a part of WWE. The former NXT General Manager shocked everyone by announcing her decision not to renew her contract.

With this, the position of NXT GM remains vacant on the Black and Silver brand. In this article, we will discuss five potential replacements for Ava as the NXT GM after her surprise WWE exit.

#5. Robert Stone might replace her

Robert Stone is a part of the NXT brand and worked with Ava during her tenure as the General Manager. Following her exit from the company, it would not be a surprise if Robert adopts the full-fledged role as the authority figure and replaces Ava in the position.

This could be a great way to utilize Stone on the Black and Silver brand.

#4. William Regal NXT comeback?

William Regal is already a part of World Wrestling Entertainment. Currently, Regal is working with Triple H’s creative team backstage and serving the role of Vice President of Global Talent Development.

Previously, William performed incredibly well as the General Manager of the NXT brand. With Ava no longer part of the company, William Regal’s return in a television role could be a great choice for the GM position.

#3. Former WWE star Chris Jericho

Though it’s unlikely to happen, Chris Jericho is indeed one of the names who could serve as the potential GM of NXT. Already, there are rumors about Y2J’s return to the Stamford-based promotion.

So, if Jericho returns to WWE, the company might give him a non-wrestling role in which he serves as the General Manager of NXT. Furthermore, he could also compete inside the squared circle occasionally.

#2. Shawn Michaels

Presently, Shawn Michaels is working as the Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative. Additionally, he also oversees the creative aspects of the NXT brand.

Thus, another name who might replace Ava as the NXT GM after her exit could be Shawn Michaels himself. The HBK may serve as a temporary General Manager and later assign this on-screen authority role to someone else.

#1. Paige might return to WWE in a new role

Not only Chris Jericho, but Paige is also speculated to make a Royal Rumble comeback in Saudi Arabia. Recently, the former Divas Champion was spotted doing training inside the squared circle.

So, in case Paige returns to the sports entertainment juggernaut, she could adopt the role of NXT’s newest General Manager. With this, the company could utilize the former WWE star beyond in-ring competition.
