WWE deserve a healthy helping of praise for how they've handled production for episodes of Raw, SmackDown and NXT in the Performance Center. The lights are still glittering, the occasional camera angle changes have been superb and everything has such a polished, professional sheen.

Is it WrestleMania level though? Is it b*llocks.

Here's hoping the company kept some things back for this weekend, because they're going to need them. Recent throwbacks to 'Mania matches like Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena and Triple H vs. Roman Reigns have shown there's no substitute for a massive crowd cheering or booing their way through the action.

One suggestion is to give early bouts a 'daytime' sheen by turning up the house lights. Then, progressively, WWE can dim them to mimic the sensational feeling of watching matches outside under the night sky. It's not much, sure, but it's something, and production will have to use every piece of trickery at their disposal.
