If the authority dies, who will take its place? The announcers have asked this question so much that I presume something has to come out of the authorities death. Will Vince return? Will Mick Foley return as a benevolent leader? Or will it be anarchy?
I kind of like the idea of the latter, although I'm not really sure how it would work. After all, people attack each-other without consequence even when there are authority figures, so they'd have to develop a new way for it. I think Bray Wyatt would make a good top villain, maybe managing to gain some sort of control or even encouraging chaos since there is no one to keep the wrestlers in line (in story). But the Ambrose feud seems to restrict that and...is it just me or has audience reactions been rather limp? WWE is likely to pin that more on Bray than the writing team. I'm beginning to wonder whether Bray was ever main event material to begin with, but he's the only heel who could step up if the authority is destroyed.
Brock Lesnar isn't around enough. Seth Rollins is difficult to take seriously as a main eventer and much of his 'sell out' persona won't be worth much if there's no one to sell out to. Or will the Authority remain the primary villains and they just won't be able to abuse their power any more. If this is the case, then Triple H would have to wrestle a lot more.
Rusev might work, but his longevity is still in question.
