#3 Senseless pandering to fans

Should WWE keep pandering to the fans?
Should WWE keep pandering to the fans?

This isn't exactly a creative problem, but it's a concern that needs to be addressed. WWE wants to give the fans what they want.

While that's a nice sentiment to make and definitely a change from their previous decisions, the company is failing to realize that fans don't know what they want sometimes. Furthermore, they don't understand that what they want is sometimes in direct conflict with what is needed to tell a good story.

With that being said, WWE is going to have difficulty telling a story if they keep listening to the fans as they promised to on Raw Monday night. Not only is that evident by the snore fest that was the opening segment on their flagship show last week, but also by their newest stunt to try to keep the audience watching.

In the end, though, this pandering isn't going to lead to anything worthwhile and will only serve to put Raw and Smackdown Live into this conflictless state. Beyond that, it also really takes a way from the stunning cohesion in storytelling that WWE used to be able to pull off, which is all but forgotten now!
