Six Things That Prove WWE Is Getting Better

What a roller coaster ride its been.

While WWE was down in the slumps just a few short weeks ago, it honestly seems like they are getting things back on track. Of course not everything is perfect right now and the company still has a few flaws they need to work on, but for the most part, they have delivered on the promises they made to make things better.

They also have taken actions to get fans genuinely interested in the overall product again, which has proven to be a difficult task for the company on occasion. Whether they retain that interest remains to be seen and will be highly dependent on what happens next, thus why the possibilities seem endless at this point for the company.

With that being said and an upward trend starting to take shape, here are five things that prove WWE is getting good again. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and also be sure to let us know what you believe WWE needs to work on to make things even better.

#5 Addressing the problems

At least WWE has admitted that Brock Lesnar being champion is a problem.

One particular thing WWE has started doing is actually addressing their problems in storylines and it is honestly nice to know that the overall product is becoming self-aware again. Beyond that, it has acted as its own sort of driving force storyline wise to help create change, which is another reason its a very good thing for the company.

In fact, between Seth Rollins' scathing criticisms of Monday Night Raw over the last month and Daniel Bryan addressing the fickleness of The WWE Universe, it feels like The WWE is more self-aware than ever and more than willing to make fun of themselves if it means that it will make things more interesting.

In the end, it is a great thing that they aren't trying to hide their flaws anymore. They are actively addressing each and every problem they have had over the past couple of months and incorporating them into storylines for fans to enjoy. If nothing else, it is a very positive step for the company and could be indicative of great things moving forward.

#5 Neutral authority figures/Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon is one of the most interesting things on WWE television right now.

As much fun as it is when WWE superstars have a villainous authority figure to rally against, having a neutral authority figure is surprisingly refreshing. Maybe that has to do with the fact that Baron Corbin's run as an authority figure was perceived so negatively, but it feels like a lot more can be accomplished storyline wise with The McMahon family there.

Furthermore, seeing Vince McMahon on television and putting his personal touch into some of the storylines are also refreshing to watch unfold. In fact, from comedy segments on the Christmas Eve show to his shocking backstage segment with AJ Styles, McMahon has brought something unique to the television product that hasn't been explored in a while.

With all of this in mind, it is nice to see WWE try something different and create a more neutral atmosphere on both Raw and Smackdown Live. Of course, that doesn't mean this needs to always be the case moving forward, especially since conflict is always great for storylines and character development, but it is a nice twist to get a good guy authority figure.

#4 Establishing new Superstars

Mustafa Ali is one of the many the embodiment of change in The WWE,

While Mustafa Ali pinning Daniel Bryan in a tag team match on SmackDown Live was a controversial moment in WWE's new era, it was also a sure sign that the company might be willing to change their ways. It also gave fans the feeling that literally, anything can happen in this new era, which is another reason fans are watching more and more.

That's quite a great feeling to have, especially after months and months of lacklustre booking on the company's part and really serves to give them momentum heading into WrestleMania season. Furthermore, it was a way to establish Mustafa Ali as a big threat on the main roster and will hopefully lead to WWE doing more of the same thing in the future.

Whether WWE actually keeps doing this or not remains to be seen, but with Rusev winning The United States title from Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews getting a title shot and Mustafa Ali outright beating Daniel Bryan, it seems like WWE is willing to shake things up in ways they previously weren't open to.

#3 Fresh title pictures

WWE finally put The United States title back on Rusev!

Do you smell that?

Its the smell of fresh title picture on both Raw and SmackDown, and its one of the many reasons the company is beginning to thrive again! Another thing that is making the company thrive again is their new no rematch clause, which has rubbed some fans the wrong way but also has ardent supporters as well.

Although The WWE Universe might be divided on that subject, they still have to admit that Rusev becoming United States Champion, Apollo Crews getting an Intercontinental title shot and The Glorious becoming tag team champions have been a vast improvement from the lacklustre title pictures of the past.

Then again, WWE still hasn't pulled the trigger on taking the Universal title off Brock Lesnar, which still has quite a few fans upset at the company. In the end, maybe that will change soon and fans will finally get the fighting champion that they deserve, but there are a lot of good things going on right now to distract from that one flaw.

#2 Dream situations

Can you believe Becky Lynch and John Cena shared a ring?

Let's be honest here.

John Cena and Becky Lynch sharing a ring didn't happen by accident and while it was truly a once in a lifetime moment, WWE has seemingly been doing this a lot lately. In fact, between Cena and Lynch sharing a ring, Triple H's confrontation with Seth Rollins and AJ Styles snapping on Mr McMahon, it feels like these are now becoming the norm.

Fortunately for WWE, they have hit it out of the park with this kind of booking so far and are more than capable of continuing to do so. Of course, they might slip up one or more times as they continue to try to push this envelope, but it is a welcomed break from the lacklustre storylines the company was telling in the past.

In the end, it is just refreshing to see something new and interesting. It is also nice to see WWE take chances and actually want to create those once in a lifetime moments for fans to enjoy. If nothing else, this makes dynamic WWE is creating makes every episode of Raw and SmackDown Live must-watch television going forward.

#1 Focus on Ronda Rousey

Admit it! Ronda Rousey is the best part about WWE right now!

Whether The WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, The Women's division on both brands is the best thing the company has going for it right now. Not only is that evident by the publicity the company is able to garner due to Ronda Rousey, but also by her great performances night after night.

The storytelling is getting better as well and it feels like the company is willing to take more risks than they ever were before. At least it seems that way after the match between Natalya and Ronda Rousey for The Raw Women's title a few a weeks ago. In fact, it almost felt like WWE was setting everyone up for a heel turn.

Of course, they didn't and the two friends ended up walking up the ramp together, that doesn't mean something can't happen in the future. Furthermore, with Rousey rumoured to be heading to SmackDown Live later in the year, WWE could craft the perfect act of betrayal if they wanted to.

In the end, this is one of the best storylines The WWE has right now and it is going to be interesting to see where they go from here with it.
