10 Major WWE Problems With The Authority

The May 25th, 2015 edition of RAW provided the WWE Universe with a prime example of why RAW is more tedious now than it ever has been.

It opened with a 20 minute promo from the Authority; followed by a 13 minute match involving Kane & Rollins; then another backstage segment involving Ambrose, the Authority and a cameraman; followed by a recap of Ambrose’s arrest; followed by an ‘office’ segment with HHH, Steph, and the cast of Entourage; followed by another Authority segment after the Cena-Ryder-Owens segment; followed by Kane announcing a tag team match; then they added some ‘extra footage’ of the cameraman segment from earlier; and finally, the Authority and Dean Ambrose closed the show.

Simply put, over half of the show was centered on the Authority. This is a huge problem because it prevents other Superstars on the roster from getting as much TV time, and in an attempt to put as many stars as possible on each show, fans are treated to multiple short matches without much build or explanation.

What WWE should do is simple: decrease the amount of time that the Authority is on screen, and make their promos simple and to the point. Fans don’t need to see a five minute backstage segment involving HHH and Stephanie kissing, when that time could instead be used to build up a PPV or add a match.

But if this problem stems from McMahon family egos, then there’s not much that truly can be done.
