I unironically wish all backstage interviews were done 80s-style on a green screen with the wrestlers logo behind them.

No screens! Gotta have the show logo hung up on the wall.

I am similarly a fan of 80s sets, but I would prefer if they would look like this

Yeah, then it can fall down mid-interview causing the interviewer to shout an expletive live on PPV!

Also, the platform out in the crowd with the ring in the background is the best interview setup.

My favorite is when they're having a gimmick match like a cage or chamber or ladder or whatever and they either have a section backstage or just drop/place it into the ring as a promo visual aid

i was going to say they should use the green screen to make the interviews look like they're happening in cool exciting places but i just remembered their graphics department used a loving concentration camp picture for something so maybe just stick with the weird fanfest mini-ring

I feel like they did something cool with this for the Bret/Owen cage match but I don’t know if anything will ever top this:

Advertised for tonight: CM Punk makes a decision on whether he will sign for Raw, SmackDown, or NXT. Elsewhere, Becky Lynch calls out Nia Jax, Cody Rhodes goes one-on-one with Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre gets another shot at Jey Uso in singles action, Maxxine Dupri has one of the biggest matches of her young career when she takes on Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley in a non-title match, and a whole lot more.

Cody against a motivated Nakamura could be a hell of a match. Cody could put him over and make him more credible for a rematch, that’s what i’d book at least

I know WWE has always photoshopped the hell out of their advertisement graphics, but loving hell I don't think I ever realised just how much more they photoshop the women compared to the men. Maxxine looks like a synth in that pic.

out of all of the wasted talent that has gone through either of the promotions I feel like nakamura was one of the saddest

his theme song was amazing, he had a style like nobody else on the roster and fantastic ringwork and charisma - I knew nothing about his work outside of wwe but from the moment he debuted I was hooked and wanted to see so much more from him

seth and becky are lifers and wwe would be really stupid to let them go.

sheamus i could see staying considering he's a pal of trips.

drew is probably gonna wind up going, i don't see them giving him another run at the top especially now that they've got the supplicants crawling back
