Due to the circumstances of the WWE pay-per-view, Backlash, Shane McMahon was removed from his position as Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment. It was a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors. His sister, Stephanie McMahon, was promoted in his place. Since then, Shane had no other choice but to vacate his position of RAW General Manager as well. He now works for WWE as Executive of Global Communications. As for his role as RAW GM, he was succeeded by Dave Batista.

The state of WWE has calmed down, somewhat. To do this, a draft lottery immediately took place, effectively disbanding 80 of the stables and factions in WWE. Cyrus had also vacated his position as Smackdown's General Manager and was subsequently replaced by Randy Orton, who decided to quietly retire as an active competitor.

Jonathan Coachman still serves as the ECW General Manager. But he is on probation, and any mistake on his part will result in his immediate dismissal. Many of ECW's previous superstars had been drafted away to the other brands, and as a result of the new superstars that came in, ECW no longer has the chaotic atmosphere it once had, although its hardcore reputation still lingers.

John Cena remains on Smackdown on a part-time basis. Despite his collaboration with the McMahons, he remains a respected, but also somewhat disliked veteran in the locker room. He has since taken a leave of absence and is working on a Hollywood film with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Nathan Kress.

Hush, whose real name was John Reily, was killed in a plane crash two months after Backlash. He was on his way home after an overseas tour in Europe. He was only twenty-three years old. He is survived by his wife and seven-month old son. Triple H was one of the poll bearers at his funeral.

Triple H's fifteenth title reign lasted only two months. He was dethroned by Bane the Leviathan, a 7'4, 530 pound giant of a man, who was out with an injury over the past year. Fortunately, Triple H still has a rematch clause in his contract…

Game Over, for now.
