25 Ways WWE Has Ruined Raw
6. Meaningless Wins & Losses
What happens form bell-to-bell isn't WWE's top priority anymore. They're all about great moments, not great matches, and while their roster's depth guarantees at least a couple of outstanding bouts every month, the product isn't always predisposed towards delivering them.
This has created a situation whereby the average television bout doesn't even mean anything anymore, and it comes straight from the horse's mouth. WWE officials have told us time and time again that wins and losses don't matter. If that's the case, then what's the point in booking matches in the first place? If they're designed to be non-canonical, and success is as meaningless as failure, then they're no more than mere athletic spectacles designed to fill airtime, rather than further narratives and push wrestlers up or down the card.
These things used to matter, but not anymore. Sadly, weekly TV matches are now completely disposable. It's one of the main factors contributing towards WWE's broken star-making machine, and a sad indictment of a sport whose roots as a live action combat simulation were poisoned by contrived soap opera melodrama a long time ago.
