This week's have been kind of idle. Yes there has been a major plot twist in the Bloodline Storyline but for the rest it's quite tame. Draft should be the second Smackdown - Third RAW after Mania, not after one month.


jrbriggs89

It definitely feels like a hangover from wrestlemania. But I like that it’s a month. If it was straight after then it would seem less important, gotta let the dust settle a bit before it gets shaken up.


Excaliburrover

Ye it's just that it makes all the shows between WM and the draft a bit pointless. Also it spells even more clearly the results of Backlash since the championships will end up on different brands generally speaking.


jrbriggs89

Is backlash before or after the draft? It’ll be interesting to see if the titles change brands this year


Excaliburrover

It's the week after so it's clear that the PLE must address eventual championship imbalances.


notthefuzz99

Tekno Team 3000!


uncle_bhim

More mainstream appeal so that I can discuss it with friends like I discuss movies/tv shows


MrManface22000088

Once it's on Netflix, I won't need to pay for the Network anymore lmao. I could just stay up late, watch some Raw, Smackdown, NXT, etc since I believe that for Netflix in Ireland (which I think is connected to the UK one too), we get everything, not just Raw, which is fucking brilliant. I hate not having USA Network or whatever to watch it and soon, I'll get to whenever I want! That's what would, and will, make WWE perfect for me.


Missmarple08

I pay for Netflix and the WWE network and TNT currently so will save a little I guess

Asuka being Heavyweight Champ


EatTalkEat

Unpredictability. I don’t want to be so sure that Sami will win in Canada, Gunther will win in Germany. Also some matches feel more like a dance than wrestling. The tag team march between DIY-New Day-Creed Brothers to face Awesome Truth looked rehearsed and out of sync. Either choreograph it and nail the timing or take/sell the kicks and punches harder.


IndependentAssist387

I’m in favor of a 2 hour Raw, particularly now that NXT gives air time exposure to the up and comers. I don’t like the commercials during matches unless it is with the Picture in Picture feature. As has been mentioned, the commercials have gotten excessive. Honestly, there’s not a lot of big stuff to complain about right now which is really cool. Always room for some improvement though.


papasnork1

For me it’s find a way to have a few less commercial breaks. It gets excessive when I’m watching Smackdown on Fridays.


ZeusRam89

I don't get how in this age of Audience sing along entrances, people are complaining about theme songs. You currently get 70K plus going "WHOAAAAA" or "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH........OOHHHHHOOOHHHHHHOHHHHHHH". Sami Zayne blew the roof off the place with his entrance. The themes are fine, you guys have just gotten used to these bombastic entrances. So much so that the entrances have taken over the scene. Wrestling is second. Presentation is king.


TW1103

I think there are a lot of themes that need MASSIVE improvement, though there are some great ones that should be left alone such as Sami, Cody, Punk. Some examples off the top of my head are Austin Theory, The Street Profits, Andrade and Carlito that have recently had their themes changed that are just straight up shit now. Most of these new themes are just *Spoken catchphrase* followed by a generic beat. The themes need more character


AirWalker9

Make RAW two hours. Better themes for the wrestlers and shows. Train wrestlers in ring IQ. Too many spots look rehearsed. Give the shows different tones and intro themes. Let RAW be the TV-14, adult show. Make Smackdown the “primetime”, PG wrestling show. Let NXT be the campy, YA show. No more AR entrance models. If so, only use them in the main events, and only use animated logos like they do for Cody & Seth Rollins. No 15-ft Roman.


spong_miester

Bring back Titantron video entrances


-Doc_Holiday_

Ditch Sami


Bacchusgott

By far, I think that increase the theme songs quality is very necessary

SvenLorenz

No part-timers. You're in or you're out. No endless title reigns. Stop pushing talentless people. There are enough people who are actually good in the ring. Get all the shows on Netflix.


EatTalkEat

And organize them better. Peacock is poopoo at that.


Chuckaluffagus

Don't let part timers steal spotlight and utilize more of the roster. And air dark matches on YouTube or something


garouGrem1

Across The Nation, 2024 version. Even for just a month leading up to a big PLE. “Move to the music!”


JustMyThoughts2525

2 hour raw


butiamtheshadows91

Decent start times in the UK and Ireland 😫


Wonderful-Media-2000

Logan Paul disappears


EatTalkEat

As long as he’s not advertising prime or bringing the cofounder in the show I don’t mind him. He’s a good wrestler and good on the mic


Hotspur000

I hope they can find some different stories to tell, or at least new ways to tell stories. The feuds lately have seemed very same old same old. I wonder if they can find a way to make them more unique and interesting.


Transient_Dreamer

More Giulia.


Azenar01

Asuka winning at WM41 to break her losing streak


Everyday_Sprezzatura

I think PL is doing a brilliant job. I thought the build to Wrestlemania was brilliantly executed and kept everyone guessing. I personally dont LOVE all the focus on tag team action and smaller high flying lucha type wrestlers but thats just me. I also think there are far too many factions and match interference meaning some top class wrestlers are getting lost in all the stables. Criminal underuse and missmanagement of Shinsuke Nakamura and the far too long run of RR as champ have been my biggest gripes the last year or so. All in all the product is in good hands I feel.


PigeonShack

Titantron videos. We want to see more videos, less logos.


spong_miester

They started well by getting rid of those stupid AR graphics


BloodAngel1982

Less commercial breaks, especially mid match. Make the breaks less frequent but longer if you have to, just stop cutting away every 5 mins


SweetChilliPhilly

This is a big one for me. I can't watch raw or smackdown live because of the ad breaks.


-__--_------

"commercial free first hour" trade off being that we missed 8-9 min of a 17 min main event... ...how about commercial free main events instead of the first hour


Proof_Baker_8922

Maybe with Netflix they can stop that


SquareSalute

This alone would help immensely, Raw especially doesn’t need to be 3 hours because of commercials padding a ton of time for the at home viewers


smallchop

Themes. They are so much to their characters. They feel like groups of mid careers to be honest lol


Alternative_Win_1502

removing unnecessary led panels from the ring


Thorn_Within

Cowbell.


Mrfantastic2

They’ve got to get better themes for a lot of the wrestlers. Something distinct is needed so right away you know who’s coming out. It really was a problem that I noticed in the royal rumble this year, I had no clue who was coming out 60 percent of the time with the generic themes and it’s not like I rarely watch lol I’m addicted


history419

BruceHoratioWayne

Keep the brands separate. Only time the stars of both shows interact is in the Royal Rumble match.


sosfornormalpeople

Get rid of dumb ass overbearing men who are Jesus some s*** that want to beat up on women and act like they're nothing but nothing but sex slaves to them and talk down to them just like they do on the internet Get rid of the FUCKING jerk in WWE...(MALE) HHH......


justmeherandthemoon4

Calm down. You okay? LOL


WhiteRhino91

What


Chicken769

Make those sponsored matches on PLE less distracting at ring side. Burger King doesn’t need its own titantron graphic at ring side. It looks tacky and stupid


ExpressGovernment420

Less setting up spots, make it more natural. If you want it to appeal for bigger masses, people who are sceptical of Wrestling will notice these little issues, like dudes standing around and waiting opponent.


Transit-Strike

Yep, every time in a tag team match where someone jumps into a whole bunch of opponents outside of the wrong, all i can think is “yeah… they totally stood around for ever, caught him but then went down”


TisrocMayHeLive4EVER

Flair returning for one more run on top to break the tie with Cena. Woooooooo!!!


_SpicySauce_

are you trying to kill him?


K2step70

Have you seen him wrestle? No way could he put on a believable match. It would like someone beating up their Grandpa. Don't need that.

Why are you giving so much time for something you don't like? 🤣 What's wrong bro? You'll get a good paying job someday, don't get frustrated about that here


sosfornormalpeople

I love wrestling...you just can't see past the front of your face what is wrong with it....lol they giving you what you think you want and taking so much away under neath your eyes because you choose to be blind to what they are doing. Your not going to like it once they get Vince out of the picture. It's going to be nothing like especially like the old school people knew RIP. WWE


UnionWizardo

Once they take out vince?? Bro you living in the past, he's already gone and we got the most "entertaining" WrestleMania in a long fkn time. You seriously need help man

NiceCock-2608

IamDollParts96

Better women on RAW. Ditch DIY. Have Chad take the title off Sami. More camp/fun. Show more AA. Keep showing Tiffy on Smackdown and Pretty Deadly. Stop doing trite, long winded time killing fillers on RAW. Less commercials. (Been really losing interest in RAW.) That's my off the top of my head wish list. None of which is gonna happen. But you asked.


Berenstain_Bro

Hopefully, less emphasis on long title reigns (attempting to overthrow WWE history) and lots of interesting/fun title defenses on RAW / SmackDown.


Lestial1206

Roman: done Gunther: done Iyo: done Rhea: done Seth: done Judgment Day: done Logan: incomplete Every title except the US has changed this month.


InternetDad

That's not the point.


Lestial1206

The long title reigns that are being complained about, are over with. So how is that not the point? We're starting all new reigns for every title, except the US title. I doubt we will see any of the current Champions hold those title for over a year.


InternetDad

It's not the point that all those titles changed hands. Yes, it's the point that these new Champs should not hold the titles for another year.


Lestial1206

You're being contradictory, because without those titles changing hands, we would still be in the midst of multiple long-term title reigns as opposed to one, which if memory serves me right, was the least longest title reign before Mania. Can't have new and exciting title reigns/matches if we're still dealing with all the old long term Champions.


TW1103

I didn't think about that. Logan Paul is currently WWE's longest reigning champion. He should absolutely be playing that up from now on

Definitely this. Let there be short but intense title reigns instead of long boring ones.


[deleted]

MJF debuting.


milin85

Imagine the scene. Cody defends his title against whoever at SummerSlam. The lights go out and then the strains of MJF’s theme plays. Crowd would go ballistic.


TheInvisibleCircus

Cody knees just before the first whoa, finds a Burberry scarf on the walkway. WHOOOAAAA


Phan2112

Fallon Henley and Indi Hartwell team up and become the team Fenwell and become women's tag team champions for a Roman Reigns length run except as faces because you can't hate Fenwell.


TheMikey2207

Women’s Midcard Championships! It’s needed and way overdue. The NXT Women’s North American championship is the start, we just need some on the main roster so midcarders on RAW and Smackdown have something to boost them up to the main event scene. I always look at someone like Shotzi and think about the incredible things she’d do with a midcard title and how much it would help her career to become a main event talent through putting on exciting and interesting midcard championship matches!


TW1103

I'd argue that the roster isn't quite deep enough for this yet. We cycle through the same people every reign as it is. I think we need WWE to start having more feuds in the women's division that aren't over a title. We've started getting a few more recently, such as Becky v Nia and Bianca v Damage CTRL but we need more consistency in that and the tag division before we jump in with another title. Though, for my money, if we get a midcard title, it should go straight on Chelsea Green


TheMikey2207

It’s going to get even deeper when people like Cora, Roxane, Gigi, Ariana, Jacy, Thea, Lola and Nikkita move up to the main roster. The thing for me is that an Indi Hartwell or a Tegan Nox will never be a major champion without a midcard title to boost them up and give them a platform to showcase their talents and show how hard they work. We do keep cycling through the same women’s talent at the top while there’s great midcard women’s talent that could be great main event talent if given a shot. I look at Gunther and see what he accomplished with the Intercontinental Championship and wish that sort of groundbreaking development could happen with the women too. And 100%, if there’s a midcard championship then Chelsea definitely has to have it first!


TW1103

I completely agree with you, but I think WWE need to build the division steadily. It's all well and good bringing all those women up, but we need to establish them all as part of the roster. I think we need maybe a year of just solid feuds with a deep roster (we should also use the tag titles more) before introducing new gold to the picture. Then, when the title is introduced we can settle into good feuds right away


maneyakk510

My friend and I were discussing this same idea during Wrestlemania. This would be an excellent addition to the product.


B-two-theRyan

I was also on board with this until I went to look at the roster. I could have sworn it was deeper than it is. And right now, I don't think they have enough female wrestlers to make it work.


Dolphin_Hornet

Better entrance music and theme music


Elegant-Rock-5397

Hulk comes back next Wrestlemania for the Andre Battle Royal to finish out Night 1 for a swan song. Bring back Jake, too. And Stone Cold.

Pay the man whatever he wants. Produced banger after banger. The difference between good and memorable.


Relevant-Door1007

I'm sure a fuck ton of people will be saying it but thats because it's the truth which is I think one of the last big things WWE needs to do to make it truly the best product available is get rid of fucking Def Rebel

sosfornormalpeople

Spot bring girls looking as centerfolds and bring in some hard core UFC girls that know how to fight. You held Ronda Rowsey back or she held herself back....you want to mix playboy bunnies or some dam girls that know how to fight and know that they can fight and might anyone's dam ass.......that's what I am talking about....Hell yeah, thank you Stone Cold ☠️☠️☠️


KingofNanman

Pretty sure they stopped hiring fitness influencers and models with no wrestling knowledge when the Women's Revolution started. Now, every female wrestler they hire has some semblance of the business (some more than others)

I bet if we look really closely, we might find a complete sentence in there that actually makes sense.


sosfornormalpeople

🖕 don't treat women all by there looks. How many sorry only bad ass women does WWE have in the winning roster? N0NE. That's why I was a fan of UFC The reason I watched UFC was Ronda Rowsey, her confidence was shakin..... nobody in UFC stepped up to the plate Everyone knows wrestling is ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!! That is there logo Real fighters came from other Fighting companies.....this is my real sentence Logan Paul does not belong to Professional wrestling. When you enter the ring......you already know Who the winner is. His ass needs to go back to where he belongs, For the crooks the scum of the streets but I'm a real fight and don't down me or saying that I'm wrestling because I love wrestling and Logan Paul is a f****** scam a puppy and he needs to be gone out of professional wrestling


UnionWizardo

Just don't follow professional wrestling karen🤣 It's so funny to see that people like you have so much frustration for things to "claim" you don't follow :) Get a life , do something else.

sosfornormalpeople

My frustration is with America and their flabby ass athletes and you all take them as heroes look at yourselves you look like slobs


UnionWizardo

Bro you're just taking "entertainment" as the most important thing in your life. You're so far gone that you don't understand the difference between liking something and being genuinely into that thing, there are not a lot of people who look up at these wrestlers thinking I wanna be a wwe superstar now. It's all just a medium of entertainment Be calm and just don't take life so seriously, you're making things complex for yourself and being frustrated. I hope you get this.


Teemo_Ren

I think it's fine with its flaws, a perfect show is impossible anyways because someone always will find something to complain about

Calumkincaid

And Triple H and the GMs all blame him for attacking Dragon Lee, but he never did it, yet they put him in a steel cage, ruining his championship chance. Then hire Bob Dylan to sing his theme music.

Randy Orton goes legend killer heel and turns on Cody, RKOs Brandy. That’ll make Smackdown great.


Kingxix

Randy vs Cody will definitely happen. Maybe not at the moment but it will happen no matter what.


NashKetchum777

I'm surprised he hasn't RKOd Owen's yet Ultimate heel move would be RKO on Michael Cole


I_will_take_that

I notice he has been doing that shaking head thing a lot more recently and that time when he nearly RKO owens. Maybe a hint that something is off with him and a sign that he is breaking down, just needs a trigger to activate him turning heel


Xx151proofxX
