Let’s dive into another eWrestlingNews Conversation starter!
Last time, we pondered about ways for All Elite Wrestling to step up their game in 2025 through some New Year’s Resolutions specifically tailored for AEW. Today, we’ll shift the spotlight onto World Wrestling Entertainment to do the same.
So, the question today is “What should be WWE’s resolutions for 2025?”
We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below!
My thoughts on the matter…
I will mostly stick to three main points, so as to keep this compact and avoid veering into a rant. Plus, the three reasons resonated the most with me as well.
Starting off, I’d wish for WWE to reconsider the “champions can only be dethroned after losing their initial match” game plan. They’re employing this tactic far too frequently, which ultimately ruins the suspense. Examples include Eddy Thorpe in the NXT Championship match, where Trick Williams was defensively placed just so he can retain without having to subdue Oba Femi, who will potentially triumph over Williams in a rematch. This persistent pattern is problematic, even more so when it relates to titles, so it’s high time to switch it up.
Moving on, a balance needs to be struck between generating advertising revenue and the suffocating effect it’s currently having on audiences. Isn’t it quite outrageous to have a 60 to 120-minute preamble for an event only to show a handful of matches? The number of advertisements has become too excessive; turning the tide on this could potentially make the same money in more discreet ways.
Lastly, but surely not least, the necessity for better entrance music can’t be overstressed. More often than not, half the roster enters with barely recognisable tracks, dulling their overall appeal. The lack of strong entrance music also makes it difficult for spectators to identify who’s entering unless their name is clearly displayed on the screen. It’s about time to revisit the drawing board on this one.
Of course, not every track can be a hit. It’s unrealistic to expect every theme to become an iconic intro, like Stone Cold Steve Austin’s glass break or Bret Hart’s legendary guitar riff. However, at the very least the music should be distinctive enough to not make it a guessing game on whether the person entering the scene is Apollo Crews, Javier Bernal, or Izzi Dame.
