^Makes sense... he's still sort of an interim guy though... depending on his role.
I'm assuming that removing him from physical action is kinda like his discipline... in order to help him to understand and appreciate the PG rating. It also helps bury the talk of it being a work... as he won't be returning as an active Superstar so much as a GM and leader.
And the fact that they removed Vince now - this could become an even better angle than saying it was going to be Vince as the leader, or Cole (even though that too, could be successful), good ol' JR, or countless others. For a moment tonight, I started to believe the possibility of it being a guy like Triple H... but after the attack, it seems very unlikely that anyone outside of these guys has any influence whatsoever.
