There's 6.5 days left to throw out guesses at the thing they've been teasing for weeks, and it might have a more compelling resolution than "Reigns attempts manslaughter, everyone just shrugs it off the next day". Maybe!
I think we're supposed to believe he's had a secret affair. I'm not sure it is. You're probably not going to have a chat about how proud you are of each other with the person you're cheating with. But maybe you would if it's a secret daughter instead?
I don't have a good answer to this. I've seen speculation saying he was talking to either Stephanie McMahon or Dixie Carter.
It was, however, weird to have that be the end of the show and then go into his (very well-done) 24 special where he is very heartfelt and family-oriented.
Given that WWE is always about a year or so behind the times, and the "I'm proud of you" line, I'm guessing that this will somehow involve a transgender individual.
As long as they don't go down the Hornswaggle is Vince's kid route then hopefully it will be good. Dixie would be great. Anything with Steph and Hunter wouldn't be ideal but could well be the way they will go.

So you're saying that would be a disappointing reveal? That doesn't exactly remove it from the running, in fact, it probably makes this more likely.
And, of course, next Monday's RAW being in Nashville certainly makes it easy to coordinate Dixie's travel arrangements.
So the initial reveal will be Kurt Angle is in love with Dixie Carter; at least, that's my guess. But that could just be the setup for a bigger reveal played out over the next several weeks, with other former TNA "executives" entering the RAW picture. Has Eric Bishoff been on RAW lately?. Maybe he'll return. Maybe Jim Cornette will return. Maybe Vince Russo will return (and get beat up by Jim Cornette). Maybe, dare I say it, the Hulkster will return as part of this TNA takeover bit.
Okay; maybe not. But anyway, my guess is Dixie Carter shows up as Kurt Angle's lover and partner next week in Nashville, and hangs around for a few weeks (at least) as part of some sort of takeover angle.

Well if there's anything this company does well, it's Invasion Angles.
I think it's him bringing in Dixie as some sort of assistant GM / unnecessary authority figure, continuing the proud tradition of stories not making sense.

Caveat: I have not watched RAM for so very long.
You have not missed much.
Life is hilariously cruel.
It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.
I think the WWE is so desperate to get in on the McGregor/Mayweather stuff that they reveal that Kurt is the father of both McGregor and Mayweather and they want both of them to show up on Raw the following week.

Although that wouldn't tie into "this could ruin me", I think. The optics wouldn't look good.
I think the "this could ruin me" part, assuming they're still paying attention to it, is the biggest hurdle for a lot of these things. Being cleared to return wouldn't ruin him, neither would the reveals of someone within his circle being trans or gay or whatever. A logical choice could be an affair or him having an illegitimate child, so that's where I'm putting my fictional/metaphorical money on for the time being.
Then again, on the Network Special he came across as a fierce family man, so I dunno.
On his recent podcast, Eric Bischoff spoke about the Kurt Angle scandal storyline and here is what he said:
"Uhh, alright…I’m sure I’m going to be burning a bridge with this one, cause I’m not supposed to know about this. And hopefully, nobody gets into any trouble over this because leaks happen, right? But you remember the storyline with AJ and Claire? WWE is ripping that off. Dixie is Claire and Kurt is AJ. I’m saying the storyline, that everyone is alluding to, is shockingly familiar to AJ and Claire."
Bischoff was referring to the TNA storyline from 2012 where AJ Styles was accused of having an affair with Claire Lynch. The storyline ended with it being revealed that Claire made the whole thing up.

Of all the TNA things for the WWE to copy, they just have to make it one of the worst ones imaginable.
