I'll be nice and say; shyt didn't get BAD until after SummerSlam.
Bash In Berlin to Bad Blood to Crown Jewel (which has been the worst PLE since the merger) to Survivor Series was buns.
WM41 to then, we was kinda waiting for shyt to develop and move.
And then Laveck did a Bloodline Reboot--which I loved for Jacob Fatu debuting. But, it ended pretty boring, IMO.
Then Laveck kept the Judgement Day as a featured act--fine, don't break 'em up, but, stop featuring them every Monday like they the 2022 Bloodline

Something is telling me Vince would’ve had Brock beat him before he hit 1000 imo

But, I think the development Cody did from WM39 to WM40 made all the sense in the world.
