7 Things WWE Needs To Fix In 2021

Camera cuts

Kevin Dunn has been working for WWE for over 30 years, and based off his recent work he might have finally lost the plot. His rapid camera cuts are distracting and often makes it difficult to follow the action on the screen.

Sometimes less is more in wrestling. If you want an example, just look at New Japan. Instead of trying to create a sense of action by changing shots every two seconds, they keep it simple and let the in-ring action speak for itself.

Many aspects of WWE’s presentation are top-drawer, but Dunn’s bad habits are holding back the overall product. This really needs to change in 2021.

Stop splitting up tag teams

For some reason, WWE decided 2020 would be the year they broke up every tag team in the company’s entire history. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but far too many teams have bitten the dust over the past 12 months.

Both the Raw and SmackDown tag divisions are a mess, and the lack of depth makes it clear to see why the Hurt Business have received so many title matches in recent weeks. It’s no secret that FTR were unhappy with the way tag team wrestling was viewed in WWE, and things have gotten even worse since they left.

Perhaps it’s time to merge both main roster tag titles. At least this way there would be more than two teams competing for the gold.

Change Raw back to two hours

Three hours is far too long for a weekly wrestling show, even with a roster as big as WWE’s. Going back to a two-hour format would allow Vince and co. to cut out the filler and maintain a good pace throughout the show.

Sadly, WWE makes lots of money from the third hour and it isn’t going away any time soon. But maybe there’s a way to keep both fans and shareholders happy – why not use the final hour to showcase famous matches from the past?

Adam Blampied suggested something similar in a recent fantasy booking video over at PartsFUNknown, and it makes a lot of sense. Not only is it a great way to advertise the huge amount of content on the WWE Network, but it might also bring back some lapsed fans and boost ratings.
