Ah, WWE and Netflix. A match made in... well, not heaven. More like a boardroom where executives pitched the idea of combining spandex-clad soap operas with binge-watching. Cynically speaking, WWE isn't ready for Netflix because it thrives on the unpredictability of live events, questionable storylines, and the sheer spectacle of it all. Netflix, on the other hand, is all about polished narratives and high production value. Can you imagine Vince McMahon letting go of the reins and letting Netflix dictate the creative direction? It'd be like asking a peacock to blend in with a flock of pigeons.

Cody's Charity Case, Roman's Solo Act, and LA's Meaningless Title Win
Cody Rhodes is practically begging Kevin Owens to take his WWE Title. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns, unhappy with the Bloodline's direction (and maybe Jey's injury), goes rogue. LA Knight wins a title, but it's clear no one cares, especially not Logan Paul. Legado del Fantasma and Santos Escobar continue to be LA's favorite punching bags.
Tag Teams, Wasted Talent, and Liv's Demotion
The tag team tournament features the same old faces. Jade Cargill and Alba Fyre have a pointless singles match, while Bianca Belair and Isla Dawn stand around doing nothing. Judgment Day focuses solely on Liv Morgan, who now has Dominik Mysterio heat and is basically a valet. Rhea Ripley's confrontation was weak, and she's even mocked with a subtle Buddy Matthews reference.
Butch's Bitterness, Bronson's Bearcat Act, and New Day's New Friend
Pete Dunne is bitter about being called Butch and blames Sheamus. Big Bronson Reed gets a ridiculous "RAW Physics" segment that treats him like a zoo animal. Odyssey Jones is inching closer to joining the New Day, and Final Testament continues to be entertaining.
Damage CTRL's Domination, Faction Overload, and Chase U's Confetti Shower
Damage CTRL runs the show because Dakota got hurt again. The Drive-By Dolls are now the "Pure Fusion Collective." Gunther and Randy Orton are overshadowed by CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. CM Punk claims it's not about the bracelet, but who believes that? Alpha Academy and Judgment Day refuse to break up, adding to the ever-growing list of factions with no clear identity. Chase U finally wins tag team gold, and the celebration features an absurd amount of confetti.
Joe Hendry's False Hope and the TNA Stigma
Joe Hendry gets booked in a pointless #1 contender's match, and even if he wins, he'll probably lose to Ethan Page. TNA did it better.
