A lot has been said about WWE’s current direction. More and more wrestling personalities from are criticizing the product from within the company and Monday Night Raw’s ratings have been on a steady decline. Former NXT creative assistant Rob Naylor ranted about the current state of WWE on social media and you can see what he had to say below.
W/ the record low Raw rating made me think of that terrible overseas Raw in 97 that "changed" things & had Russo (ugh, I know) talk to Vince

It's going to take a HIGHLY influential writer (I know two) or SOMEONE to put it all on the line and talk to Vince about how bad things are

It's not a "HHH will save the day" either, cause the writers still seem to write for him and Stephanie too – the whole "audience of 3" deal

It's all got to change. Presentation, look of the show, all the tropes need to be phased out. New blood needs to be pushed differently etc.

It's funny, there is nothing I'd love seeing more than HHH as a character on NXT (it's fresh) and nothing less I want to see than HHH on Raw

As someone that LOVES wrestling, just sucks to see the pool pissed in quite often. Road Dogg said it best, if you don't like it, don't watch

As FSM mag tweeted negatives the whole show – I told a friend – "so glad I stopped watching, as WHY watch something that you don't enjoy"

Again, not to pile on – but there is SO MUCH great talent employed. And the world's best production team/behind the scenes employees.

They just need a new and fresh approach. I have no doubt it'll get better – as NXT's show in Brooklyn was so refreshing.

It's interesting to note that Dusty would tell me – "Naylah, if someone didn't do what I told 'em, "eff em, dey fiyahed".
— Rob Naylor (@NINaylor) November 24, 2015
Thus when ONE booker, Dusty needed a star made, you booked someone to make a star. If they didn't they were gone

Now with an entire team of chef's, nobody has autonomy (well, cept Vince) and there's just 50/50 everything and nobody stands out.

Okay, I'm done. That was cathartic. Thanks for reading.
