10 Reasons It's NEVER BEEN BETTER To Be A WWE Superstar

3. The Return Of Stables

It'd be too easy to suggest that those within WWE have taken note of the frankly remarkable numbers The Bloodline segments draw every time they appear on SmackDown and just hit Copy And Paste across their roster, but if stables (and stables breaking up) is your love language, marry WWE today.

Away from Roman Reigns and the gang, The Judgment Day have been a runaway success story - certainly the biggest Triple H one since he got his Head Of Creative spot after Vince McMahon resigned in disgrace - but they're not the only collaborative efforts to have shone under a renewed spotlight.

Imperium, The LWO, Damage CTRL, Alpha Academy and The Brawling Brutes have all featured prominently at various points, working matches and feuds across the male and female divisions as well as in singles and tags that preserve bigger matches for Premium Live Events. It's a model poached from the early days of AEW which itself borrowed liberally from NJPW, but one that works well for a reason.

More wrestlers in more spots makes for a more motivated locker room on the whole as well - worlds of opportunity have opened up as opposed to the myopic and dated stance long held by McMahon.
