The WWE has undergone a significant transformation since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over the reins from Vince McMahon. The change in leadership has brought about a breath of fresh air, with improvements in storytelling, increased variety in champions, and the return of performers who were released in the past. However, despite these positive developments, the WWE still has some areas that require improvement.
One of the mistakes that the WWE has made recently is the misuse of Karrion Kross’s talents. While Kross is an exceptional promo, he has struggled to connect with the audience due to his promos being relegated to digital exclusives. To rectify this, the WWE should give Kross more opportunities to cut promos in front of live crowds on TV, allowing him to build a stronger connection with the audience.
Another error is the overreliance on QR codes to convey cryptic messages, a tactic that was initially exciting when used with Bray Wyatt but has since lost its luster. Instead of forcing fans to jump through hoops to uncover the meaning behind these messages, the WWE could use creepy video packages or vignettes during RAW or SmackDown to generate more interest.
The WWE has also made mistakes in its music department, particularly with the departure of Jim Johnston in 2017. The company’s current music, crafted by Def Rebel, has resulted in theme changes for the worse, leaving fans disoriented and struggling to respond to the new music. The WWE should revisit its approach to entrance themes, potentially bringing back iconic songs that resonated with fans in the past.
Lastly, the 2024 WWE Draft was a disappointment, with too much hype surrounding an event that ultimately lacked significant movement of top names between RAW and SmackDown. To restore excitement around these events, the WWE needs to ensure that the draft process yields more meaningful changes to the roster.
By addressing these mistakes, the WWE can continue to improve under Triple H’s leadership, cementing its position as a leader in professional wrestling.
