Shannon Sharpe is reportedly done with Undisputed and Skip Bayless — per the New York Post, the Pro Football Hall of Famer reached a buyout agreement with FOX Sports and that his last show with Bayless will come after the NBA Finals in June.
What will that mean for Undisputed? That’s what fans were wondering. And the speculation is in full force as we await to see what, if anything, Sharpe will say on the next episode of the sports debate show on FS1, especially after some heated conflict with Bayless this year that may have led to where we are now.
Twitter had some ideas as to who should step into the chair to face off with Bayless:

Please hire Mad Dog away from ESPN and let him and Skip scream at each other into the void https://t.co/F4ItvqrYb9

You can’t replace Shannon Sharpe but Nick Wright would be entertaining as hell sitting opposite Skip Bayless every morning…. Especially if Skip allows Nick to be Nick. https://t.co/dwnnxYJc73

Skip without Shannon will be boring as hell…☹️
He'll need somebody like Chad Johnson or Terrell Owens to be his co-host if he wants the show to still be successful…— ♠️♦️🦉OVO🦉♠️♦️ (@ANGIEE_RC) June 1, 2023

If Shannon does leave, I think Brian Dawkins or Ray Lewis could replace that energy. https://t.co/7RnyhM1VKe

Now that Shannon Sharpe is out on FS1's Undisputed, would Scottie Pippen be an excellent replacement? Imagine his new anti-Jordan perspective clashing with Skip lol

Scottie Pippen should replace Shannon on Undisputed. Top tier TV

They should get Tom Brady to replace Shannon. That would make Skip learn to show respect on TV.
