WWE has been under transition since Triple H took over the creative reigns. The Stamford-based company received a lot of praise from wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell this week, who specifically spoke about Butch and Tyler Bate's segment on the latest episode of SmackDown.
As seen on the blue brand, WWE shot a segment where Butch and Tyler Bate had a compelling conversation over a coffee. The entire premise of the angle was for Butch to be pushed towards getting his old Pete Dunne moniker back.
The visual presentation of the angle was pretty different from how WWE usually produces vignettes on the main roster, and Dutch Mantell, for one, enjoyed the refreshingly new approach.

"So, if you're listening to that, you'd buy into it, because it looked like a real conversation, like they were actually talking, and you're sitting there. There is no bullsh** going on, nothing else, and you're concentrating on what he's saying, and when he leaves, that's what you're thinking about. I agree, very, very well done. So, I've got to hand it to them. Their shows have improved 200%," Dutch Mantell said. [39:01 - 39:27]
