It's not a revolution by any stretch, but with a host of well-received comebacks and other clever changes we're absolutely drinking the Triple H Kool-Aid
So after years of stagnation, the change is coming fast, and with AEW having its own issues with tumultuous media scrums and alleged locker room brawls, the timing couldn't be better for everyone in Stamford.

Wrestlers come and go, but of the most disheartening things about the last few years of the WWE was thedue to"budget cuts", despite the company recording massive profits. It used to be that these men and women would ply their trade on the independent circuit, or perhaps go to Japan. Many would immediately set their sights on a WWE return, but with rare exceptions , it didn't happen. After the emergence of AEW, many of these stars now had another major company to work for, but we WWE fans still missed many of the stars we'd been growing along with – be they WWE"originals" or former Indie talents.

Triple H has welcomed back a number of key players since he's taken over: Dakota Kai and Io Sky, Hit Row , Braun Strowman, Dexter Lumis, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Johnny Gargano and, of course, Bray Wyatt. It's not been confirmed, but the assumption is that Sasha Banks and Naomi are also moments away from a big comeback, too. We know that Vince wasn't always against a prodigal son returning. Cody Rhodes triumphant WrestleMania comeback is the most obvious recent example that he never completely closes a door forever. But in many of these cases it's hard to imagine Vince McMahon re-signing any of them in a hurry. In others, we couldn't picture the talents returning with Vince at the helm.This content is imported from YouTube.

What's been striking about the WWE's run of top-notch PPVs in recent months is just how compact they are. Survivor Series? Five Matches. Extreme Rules? Five Matches. Yes, there were seven at Clash at the Castle and eight at Crown Jewel, but that's to be expected on the rare visits abroad. Before Vince left we had HIAC and MITB at seven matches each, while last year's SummerSlam clocked in at ELEVEN matches. It feels as though we've been getting snappier PPVs ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, and while we've only had a small sample since then, it seems as though Triple H realises one of the things that made those classic NXT PPVs so very watchable was that the crowd at home and in the audience wasn't dead on their feet halfway through.This content is imported from YouTube.

Wrestling is a mature art form that has regular story beats, so it's not a surprise that fans can often see where stories are heading.But if everything is totally predictable to the point of tedium, it zaps a lot of the fun. A Royal Rumble where everyone and their mum can pick both winners isn't all that exciting. This content is imported from YouTube.

So when you have somewhat jarring moments, like Austin Theory cashing in his MITB contract on the US Title, failing to win it, and then winning it in a straightforward Triple Threat weeks later it's sort of refreshing. "Real" sports are often predictable, but the enjoyment comes from the thrills, spills, shocks and surprises.Not hating first names This content is imported from YouTube.

There's nothing wrong with a rebrand, and much as it can annoy, we understand the commercial reasons why wrestlers will have their name changed when joining the WWE. But Matt Riddle becoming"Riddle"? Daft, and not in the good way. Austin Theory becoming"Theory"? Just as bad.Yeah, Pete Dunne is still being billed as"Butch", but we'll let that one slide... for now.This content is imported from YouTube.

But Hunter has taken it all up a notch, with the 'White Rabbit' teases for Bray Wyatt's return being a perfect example. By seeding 'White Rabbit' over the PA at Live Events, making use of QR codes and dropping hints here, there and everywhere on WWETV, the company managed to make a forgone conclusion of a comeback into a special occasion.Being less awkwardly belligerent when it comes to the"competition" This content is imported from YouTube.

We're not going to pretend that Vince McMahon never allowed his talent to work in other companies, or that he never allowed external stars to pop in . But we do know that there was some resistance to Shinsuke Nakamura having the chance to wrestle The Great Muta on the latter's retirement tour under his watch.This content is imported from Twitter.
