A necessity upon originally launching, the old PG/TV-14 warning (and the infuriating jingle most fans will probably hear in their sleep and/or subconscious for the rest of their lives) has actually disappeared!
Alongside the lack of disclaimer, WWE have also (selectively, thus far) added a "Skip Intro" button to videos - though often a favourite for those revisiting the nostalgic glow of youth via their favourite wrestling shows, the idents and credits can be irritating and cumbersome if the user is aiming for action.
User friendly in contrast to something that was for so long the antithesis of it, WWE may have cribbed much from existing streaming services available, but so they should have - the technology is there to be borrowed or bettered, and that's what this Network upgrade (when the kinks have been worked out) will have done. Vince McMahon always knew that the real magic happened behind the curve.
