The Authority is a cruel permanate figure in WWE, which begun due to Triple H helping Randy Orton win the WWE Championship at SummerSlam in August 2013. The figure is led by company executives Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and many other wrestlers have been part of the group, most notably Seth Rollins as the hand-picked "future of the business", Kane, who was appointed "Director of Operations" and Randy Orton, who was the Authority's hand-picked champion and "face of the WWE" until his departure from the group in late 2014. The Shield formerly acted as the Authority's main henchmen to offer protection or carry out attacks until March 2014. The name of "the Authority" was introduced in October 2013. The Authority shares similarities with The Corporation and The McMahon-Helmsley Faction, and has also had ties to Triple H's previous figure D-Generation X and Evolution. The Authority initially ended on November 23, 2014 at Survivor Series when their team lost to Team Cena in the main event; however, they were brought back by Cena on the December 29 episode of Raw.
SMALL NOTE: Seth Rollins, Big Show and Kane are basically there little pets and they stay under the control of the authority. However, Kane and Seth have had issues lately... |
