2024 was a brilliant year for WWE as a company, both from a business perspective and how fans received the content. Attendance is up and WWE has also done well financially, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas for improvement. Triple H has been highly praised for all of his work from a creative standpoint, but he’s not perfect.

Anyone can appear anywhere in professional wrestling. Major promotions should look to sign these free agents throughout 2025.
The company is constantly looking to move forward and become even better, and fans want to see certain aspects of WWE change. While they won’t all happen in a single calendar year, 2025 needs to bring big changes in some areas to ensure WWE reaches the next level.
No more untitled women’s feuds
Division must be highlighted on a larger scale
- WWE tends to only highlight the two main title feuds
- WWE has since added two more titles to the roster
The women’s division is something that Triple H is focusing on far more than Vince McMahon ever did, and that’s generally a positive thing. However, the main problem is that WWE still only focuses on the storylines surrounding the two main women’s titles, which does not benefit the entire roster.
WWE has assembled a group of talented women, but they need to be featured in more detail in the future. Fans want storylines that have nothing to do with titles like those on the men’s roster, and that would benefit the overall product.
Length of world title races
Triple H made most of them very long
- Roman Reigns made history with his title run
- Shorter headline series can be just as impactful
Longer title runs can help them make more of an impact in WWE, which is one of the reasons Roman Reigns’ historic run has been so good. However, that doesn’t mean every world title run he creates has to be long, as that can be problematic.

There have been many professional wrestling companies that unfortunately no longer exist. A look back at what their respective world titles looked like.
It’s important for Triple H to create memorable contenders and giving them crucial wins at the right time can help them pull through. The fact that all world title races last a long time can make them predictable and increase their impact.
Add more PLE matches
They have become a little too limited
- Triple H normally books a maximum of five matches
- Fans would like to see a few more encounters
Triple H has been praised since taking charge for how he reduced the number of matches at a premium live event, ensuring shows finish quicker and don’t drag on. However, they arguably became a little too streamlined as the year went on, with not enough matches being staged.
Adding just one or possibly two games would make a big difference. If WWE only books four or five matches for a PLE, there is a complete lack of spots for people to draw on, which hurts the rest of the roster.
NXT Calls
This is still an area of ​​development
- Only Bron Breakker has really started since his call-up
- Triple H needs to focus on this aspect of the business
WWE NXT has created tons of incredible wrestlers since its launch, but far too many have fallen through the cracks on their way to the main roster. This was a significant issue when Vince McMahon was at the helm of the company, but things didn’t improve during Triple H’s tenure either.
While Bron Breakker has become a big star, the rest of the WWE NXT the stars that Triple H has progressed have struggled, while many exciting stars have remained in development a little too long.
Create unique content
Fans loved WWE Network shows and documentaries
- It is unclear what content will be created through Netflix
- WWE fans want to see documentaries and backstage content
The main focus of WWE is the in-ring product and that will never change. Fans want to see great matches and gripping storylines and Triple H has made that possible. However, fans want to see more of the behind-the-scenes content, documentaries, and unique shows that helped make the WWE Network successful in the first place.
The move to Netflix means all of these shows will disappear, but that doesn’t mean WWE can’t create more. The partnership with Netflix could lead to the creation of completely new content, which would help revive the business.
Using captions
Triple H started to do things right
- Goldberg expected to retire in 2025
- WWE began regularly featuring legends at ringside
Legends are the backbone of professional wrestling, with those who helped shape the industry being people fans still love to watch. Vince McMahon has often had trouble using them and Triple H hasn’t always done well with them, which is a missed trick.

WWE has signed a few names to Legends contracts this year. The company is expected to add the following names to these ranks in the future.
Inserting captions into storylines can help add even more emotion to what’s happening because fans care deeply about them. Triple H started to show his potential in this world towards the end of 2024 with moments like Bret Hart and Goldberg, but next year he will have to take it to another level.
Making sure TV shows don’t lag
WWE must thrive on Netflix
- WWE SmackDown goes to three o’clock
- WWE TV Shows Must Be Smooth
WWE’s move to Netflix is ​​a huge deal, and something that could take the company to the next level if the series is watchable and enjoyable, as WWE will be accessible to a whole new range of people. If WWE can capture even a small percentage of Netflix’s audience, then the company could grow even further.
The way to achieve this is to have engaging episodes of WWE Raw And WWE SmackDown. But with both shows expected to last three hours, this won’t be an easy task for the company.
Not all arguments have to be long
Triple H likes to tell long-term stories
- Fans sometimes want storylines to end after a few months
- Not all angles have to drag on forever
Something that Triple H has focused on during his tenure as head of WWE is creating a long-term narrative with certain storylines often lasting months. This brings some benefits, but the audience may also eventually tire of it and it would be helpful to learn how to pivot when that time is reached.
The Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan feud is a perfect example of something that has gone on far too long throughout 2024. The public has grown tired of seeing them face off, and that’s a lesson WWE needs to shoot in 2025.
Entrance music
Many songs ended up becoming generic
- Many current themes lack personality
- WWE likely to end partnership with Def Rebel
Entrance music plays an important role in professional wrestling for several reasons. Good music will create massive reactions from fans every time it is hit and this is crucial because the songs need to be recognizable so fans know who is coming out from behind the curtain.

From legendary theatrics to unforgettable shows, these are the best WWE entrances of all time.
This has been lacking in WWE in recent times, with many songs failing to make a real impact with the audience. They don’t provide the necessary explanation of who the wrestler is in the same way that The Undertaker’s song does, and that’s an issue WWE needs to focus on.
The team division
Booking for this division has been poor
- The division often lacked concentration
- Many title races haven’t featured many matches
Triple H has raised the standards across the board with his booking, but one area he has struggled in is the tag team division. There is a great roster of teams that WWE could use to create compelling matches and exciting storylines on a weekly basis.
However, this is not happening at the moment, which is something WWE needs to improve on. Several recent title reigns have happened with a lack of defenses preventing them from being enjoyable and that’s a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
