What SHOULD WWE’s course of action be now that AEW has wild momentum? Draft? Go w/ youth? Legends?

The problem with the WWE is the writers and Cokeboy seemingly giving up on hot feuds because it's not what they intended. They have guys who have never watched wrestling writing wrestling storylines. The promos are way too robotic and come off as campy PS3 era Smackdown vs. RAW type of promos your CAW would cut. They need to allow more creative freedom for the wrestlers in their promos and storylines. They need to be able to dynamically change plans & carry the momentum of guys/girls who are getting over organically on their own.

Unfortunately, none of that will happen.

Lowkey. Brand split could help with some fresh match ups.

Stop fukking around with your callups like kross without scarlette

And give wrestlers some more freedom with their promos. Sink or swim time

Start focusing on making some stars. Stop keeping talent off tv just because they aren't in a program. Keep them in the fold with promos/vignettes whatever like what nxt does


But none of this will change until Vince gives the creative team control or a lot of influence. Last year heyman and d goat have a lot of influence in the booking and more talent were being used because of it. D goat disappears and so does Drew gulag. Heyman moves to raw and aleister black disappears and suffers b2b losses

Cut Raw to 2 hours and book it like Smackdown. Stop presenting the show as PG (don't need the Attitude Era shyt but they need to be more mature). End the brand split. Go more unscripted and less rigid and let the talent do the rest.

It's really not that hard. Vince just makes it seem that way because he's done it big time through two boom periods :yeshrug:

This notion that Roman is the only successful star makes no sense to me.

When the likes of Sasha, Bianca, Becky have thrive majorly.

Now if you mention the male stars then yeah for sure.
I'm taking about the men . Top tier rock Austin cena level draws . Reigns is the only one on the roster they have protected enough to become that . Rollins no , Lashley is at his peak now , Keith Lee no , riddle maybe but I don't see it . They need that action hero looking main eventer and that person currently does not exist

Drew is the one. Unfortunately they have to rebuild him up again because the pandemic halted his momentum.

I forgot about moving Raw to two hours, that would definitely. Imo, 3 hours worked from 2012-2014 because they had the star power

John Cena
CM Punk
The Shield
Daniel Bryan
HHH
Brock
The Rock

Besides Becky (for now), Orton, Drew, and Lashley, there’s no near that level of star power on Raw,

Anyway, point is, Raw is the B show, they don’t have the star power to be three hours.

This 3 hour shyt is just terrible. USA really needs to dead this shyt because shyt is for the birds.

And yeah the brand split should be dreaded now looking at it.

That’s why rematches galore constantly happen.

WWE has talent capable of becoming mega stars, they just need to allow them to do so. Vince is a stubborn man set in his ways, the only time he’s ever loosened the reins is during the war with WCW.
