i think that since pro wrestling in general leans so hard into, and sometimes blatantly relies on, the idea that everyone knows its "fake", they are no longer interested in presenting a "work".

they are making the movies McMahon was talking about 20+ years ago with disposable characters and actors, and if this one doesnt work, oh well. off to the next one while NBC/Universal gives them hundreds of millions of dollars for their entertainment content.

AEW does the same thing FWIW. Dark Order and Matt Hardy spring to mind. but at least they let some people (MJF et al) attempt to present a traditional "work" if they want to.
