Another feature worthy of individual acclaim, the way in which shows are now split provides a much-improved user experience that not only does away with the oft-malfunctioning grey dots, but also bins off the spoileriffic titles that used to come with the finishes.

Yes, theoretically any archived content is exactly that, and the company perhaps couldn't have been expected to mask results of shows that could have occurred decades ago, but the WWE Network can be a voyage of discovery for fans - discovery significantly diluted by the results being revealed before reaching the end destination.

The cleaner layout allows for navigational ease, too - the shows are broken up into segments as well as matches, rather than the former forced search either side of bells in order to locate a backstage beatdown or interview.
