Many have taken notice of new elements of WWE production that we’ve seen, which include a new approach within WWE as the Kevin Dunn era has closed. What has resulted quickly are many things that Dunn didn’t previously want, now becoming the norm.
Among them are two very distinct videos across WWE Raw and Smackdown. One featuring Chelsea Green and Piper Niven at a club to confront Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. Another on Smackdown, highlighting Butch/Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
For those that drew the comparison to NXT, you’d be correct. We’re told that Triple H allowed Jeremy Borash to put together a team in NXT for the past three years, where it would be safely under Kevin Dunn’s radar. Triple H was said to have been happy with how they played out, and with Dunn’s departure, there is a door open to feature that style of promos across all WWE shows.
We’ve spoken to several people associated with helping put together the promos that spoke highly of the new process and the freedom to to them. One source noted that under Dunn, the segment would have likely cut away to several different things, but the new method was to let the characters breathe, and the segment to play out.
We've heard that both segments were largely positively received internally.
