Many have taken notice of new elements of WWE production that we’ve seen, which include a new approach within WWE as the Kevin Dunn era has closed. What has resulted quickly are many things that Dunn didn’t previously want, now becoming the norm.
Among them are two very distinct videos across WWE Raw and Smackdown. One featuring Chelsea Green and Piper Niven at a club to confront Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. Another on Smackdown, highlighting Butch/Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
For those that drew the comparison to NXT, you’d be correct. We’re told that Triple H allowed Jeremy Borash to put together a team in NXT for the past three years, where it would be safely under Kevin Dunn’s radar.
Triple H was said to have been happy with how they played out, and with Dunn’s departure, there is a door open to feature that style of promos across all WWE shows.
We’ve spoken to several people associated with helping put together the promos that spoke highly of the new process and the freedom to to them. One source noted that under Dunn, the segment would have likely cut away to several different things, but the new method was to let the characters breathe, and the segment to play out.
We've heard that both segments were largely positively received internally.

- We’ve heard from indie promoters that Mustafa Ali’s impact on ticket sales for some of his first events are the most they’ve seen for a WWE departure in years.
- For those asking about Mike Mansury as a potential replacement as Kevin Dunn, we’ve confirmed Wrestling Observer’s report that Mansury is under a multi-year agreement with All Elite Wrestling.
- We’re told that WWE and Panini have continued their relationship, and it appears it will continue through the duration of their regularly scheduled deal.

Yeah I'm not believing that. There's no way you're not goin after one of the biggest talent in the industry.

But she's worth it. Especially when you're still tryin to build that women's division.

I’m not denying her worth. But they can’t sign EVERYBODY. Maybe AEW is trying to learn from the past. You gotta have a plan AND tv time for people…and they just signed 2-3 women to AEW. Everyone expects Mercedes to appear soon (I kinda doubt it)…so there’s that and the existing women’s division.
They can’t sign everybody.

Word is from another insider that they don’t think she’s all that also

Nor do they need to. Mone was probably a bigger priority and they wanted to keep a budget for her.

Im still trying to see the hype after watching some clips.
For those who have asked why WWE's Monday Night Raw looked so different last night, it was due to restrictions the company faced running The Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkanas.
PWInsider.com is told that that the venue, which opened back in 1999, was not structured in a way that could support the company's current lighting rigs, which hang from the ceiling of the venues, due to concern about the amount of snow sitting atop the arena from the weather conditions Arkansas and a lot of other places are dealing with this week. Instead, WWE utilized a lighting truss that was supported by towers erected from the ground up.
For similar reasons, WWE used a smaller staging set-up instead of their usual, larger set and adjusted their pyro capabilities.
For those who asked, we are told it was not a case of the company "cutting back" on production elements, but something deemed necessary due to the venue they were running with the weather conditions.

Attitude Still on “Fuck It”
reminds me of when wwe stopped running elimination chamber matches for a period because a lot of arenas couldn’t support its weight
