My favorite thing so far is everyone absolutely slobbering over it as if it's any different I could make you an easy list of 20-25 things that have already changed so far. The product is very different.

Consistency, long term storytelling, has more of a vision in line with what fans want, etc.
Triple H is what'e best for business.

Apparently Trips heard more of you, they have canceled the Day 1 ppv cause it was a ppv for the sake of a ppv. Supposedly there are rumors of less ppvs next year and the elimination of some of the gimmick ppvs.

I am on board 100% with this change, while simultaneously laughing my ass off that Cody Rhodes traded a bunch of these names to get his last name back only to head to WWE a year later 🤣

Yeah I take it you guys that think it’s the same don’t even watch the shows. Triple Hs changes may be small overall, but they reward you for watching the show. Vince’s shows became “everyone’s an idiot. Do a million recaps/replays, pimp the network, go through the motions, stop that push/kill that story randomly.” Since Triple H took over we’ve had returns obviously, Michael Cole doesn’t sound like a whipped dog, show cliffhangers(what a concept…), Name/gimmick changes that don’t suck as much/were more over, and most importantly Bayley in several segments and main events.

I know some people on here (not you btw lol) can't handle people paying compliments to both companies, but this is a huge improvement in HHH's WWE, and one of my favorite things about aew. Even if I don't like the direction they choose to go with any particular story in either company, I really appreciate when I get rewarded for paying attention. It's the small things that do this best.

Was impressed by the Lesnar vs Lashley stuff & look forward to their match.

I can’t say I have a favourite thing so far, but I do love the potential. He might bring back the Evolution event or the Mae Young Classic or even the Cruiserweight Classic or 205 Live. Imagine that show being done properly with bigger stars and less formulaic matches. I also hope he will start re-introducing legends that we don’t see too often. There’s still plenty of FTITL’s to be made!

It feels more must watch. Like you don't know whats going to happen, whos going to turn up etc. We just had Extreme Rules which is a B level PPV yet it still felt like a major one. I'm just hoping with all these returns, it doesn't end up bloating both rosters.

Just like others have said,you getting rewarded for watching every show and paying attention now. I'm a huge wrestling fan but towards the end of the Vince era I wasn't paying attention to 50-75% of what was going on and didn't have to because you was gonna get reminded of it 10 more times that week or it just didn't matter in the first place and they forgot about it their selves right after it happened.
Another thing for me is I wouldn't have put guys like Kross,OC and Lesnar(this quick)on a list of people I wanted to see back but he's making it work with guys I didn't care at all about.

Another thing for me is I wouldn't have put guys like Kross,OC and Lesnar(this quick)on a list of people I wanted to see back but he's making it work with guys I didn't care at all about. I get that! But at the same time one of the things I don't like is him changing things instantly. Like Ezekiel. If you were watching Raw weekly, personally it was one of my favorite angles. I thought it was very fun! But if you watch weekly and this story is going on about if this guy is or isn't actually Elias. But then HHH comes in, doesn't like it, and ends it abruptly. The fans were reacting too. The fans seemed to always interact with Ezekiel/Owens/Gable. To just end it with no real payoff just because he didn't like it, I wasn't a fan of. Felt like a Vince move to just drop something.
Same with Owens' change of character. He was so funny/goofy with Gable/Otis but then HHH comes around and removes that side of his character completely. He's serious KO now like NXT. Out of nowhere. And then he goes back down to NXT and acts like the KO from before HHH got put in charge? I thought him hosting the KO Show was so odd to do because they have established that something triggered in him and he is purely serious now.
I also wish we would get established lore for NXT. Is it canon? Is it not canon? Because they debut Gargano, Candice, and Dexter like we are supposed to know who these people are. They play off of their NXT runs. But then Legado debuts without Elektra. Even though on NXT we saw Santos pick all of them up and say he is bringing them with him. I feel like that goes against the rewarding people for paying attention because that makes no sense. I just wish they'd establish if we are supposed to follow & know what is going on in NXT or if it's not connected at all. Because like I said earlier, KO acted like a different person on NXT than Raw.
