10 Vince McMahon WWE Creations Triple H Must Destroy

10. Identikit Sets

In 1999, SmackDown launched with a different flavour to established flagship Raw. The blue brand had an oval-shaped tron to the side of the stage, a unique entranceway for wrestlers to walk through and a fresh set of graphics and other assets. That's not the case in 2022.

These days, the only marked difference between Raw and SmackDown is the fact that one is splashed with red and the other is blue. The gigantic tron sets look identikit, and WWE even ships them around for monthly pay-per-view events too. That's a big problem, because it means everything looks the bloody same.

Triple H should change that.

WWE's presentation has been staler than week old bread for years now (more on that later), and the sets are part of that. Remember when pay-per-views boasted bespoke looks? That was part of the fun, but it's been lost in an era obsessed with CGI overlays and samey tron colour schemes.
