The Brand Extension outside of 2016/17 hasn’t been a real thing since they started doing those “super shows” in the early 2010s. Either go all in on making the shows separate, or abolish the entire concept.

They don’t know how to make cool faces at all.

That's always been the problem. Think about all the faces from NXT that were over and got turned into chumps on the main roster. Even somebody like Bayley wasn't "cool" in the traditional way, but she was still popular, and when she got to the main roster, I don't think Vince really understood what made her popular.

A heel turn isn't the solution to everything. At the end of the day, you need someone to cheer for. Credible heroes that can go up against the villains. Big E could easily play a more serious role without having to turn heel, like when he cut that promo against The Usos. It's just that WWE thinks that heels are supposed to have all the personality and faces are just generic, smiling losers.

You know a good example of a face that WWE no longer has? Triple H. I said it before that he wasn't a good face, but that's because he was a natural heel. When he was a face, he played to the crowd a little more, but his priorities never changed. He still cared about the main event, still cared about the WWE Championship, and wasn't afraid to take out anybody standing in his way. He even said once that he wasn't a good person, and he's never been a good person. Those are the rough edges that faces don't have anymore.

I think the way they were doing it was working until they put the belt on Jinder and the SD only shows cratered. They actually had ‘raw fans’ and ‘smackdown fans’, people were even invested in that on here. They were dumb as hell to kill that off

Thats because heels don't sell merch.. Thats why they wanna be tweeners instead.

They need Big E to turn on Kofi and become obsessed with becoming champion one day

Have sum filler shyt

Kofi comes back in March like HBK 2002 (when he challenged HHH at summerslam) to challenge Big E in a match at Wrestlemania

Big E destroys and "retires" Kofi and ends Kofimania for good.

Yep, he needs to win something, or at least do something memorable. I don't feel like he's even been in any kind of feud.
