#2 Treatment of outside talent / control over wrestlers
Ad
EC3
Yes, there have been tons of outside talent who managed to grab the brass ring and become legit main event Superstars in WWE: Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and Kevin Owens come to mind immediately.
But what about the likes of EC3, Samoa Joe, and a bunch of others? It's no secret that WWE likes to push the homegrown talent and prioritizes them over outside talent. Samoa Joe was turned into a glorified jobber over the course of the past two years. Apparently, EC3's burial is the result of him badmouthing WWE in the past, when he wasn't with the company. Also, the way WWE treated former Superstar Luke Harper and tag team outfit The Revival is something that had garnered tons of negative publicity to the company.
When The Game takes over, he will strive for providing the best to the WWE Universe, and will always put the business over anything else. Recently, he convinced Vince to let Goldust go, and saved him from sharing Luke Harper's fate. This screams nothing but high hopes from the future.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
