Back when Triple H assumed responsibility from Vince McMahon in 2022, the Sportster wrote: Although Vince McMahon is no longer in charge of WWE, there still exists many issues which have turned fans away from the product over the last few years, and these problems will take a long time to rectify.

Some of the problems that fans always bring up include repetitive matches, the same superstars always on top, non-finishes, and the lack of logic when it comes to the brand split. However, there is a core for all these issues, and that all comes down to WWE’s lack of roster depth, which is something of their own doing, and it must be fixed sooner rather than later.

From WrestleZone: The 2024 WWE Draft is finally behind us and, honestly, fans have mixed reaction to the two-night event. The draft began on SmackDown last Friday. The champions on all three brands were protected except for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
While RAW and SmackDown retained majority of the pre-draft roster, they did trade some names in addition to plucking several superstars from NXT.
Joseph Staszweksi wrote: The WWE Draft could be so much more. 
Every year, I watch WWE’s annual roster tweaking, hoping the company will take some risks, attach more stories and add more of a real sports feel. 
I had high hopes this year after the leaps forward in the production of Raw and SmackDown under Lee Fitting, the former ESPN producer who took the role of head of media production to replace longtime executive producer Kevin Dunn in January. 
He has brought a ton of refreshing elements to WWE. The continuous shots — often with a wrestler pushing the camera back into the arena or to the back — showed off the energy of the sold-out crowd and moved you more organically to the next story. There are more pre-and-post match interviews with talent that feel more like sports broadcasts.

WWE is no longer a company where the action is almost exclusively in the ring or in a backstage interview area. We saw Jey Uso walk into an arena entrance to talk with Sami Zayn before the camera followed the Intercontinental champion into the arena while entering the crowd. Instead of a formal interview in Gorilla, we see Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman have a private conversation We get Drew McIntyre searching out CM Punk in a luxury box.
