#2. The creative process put into WrestleMania has drastically reduced

With WrestleMania 36 being in an empty arena, it's evident that the motivation to put on the biggest show of the year is gone. We can only hope that they channel it into making SummerSlam 2020 that much bigger, but nothing can be predicted given the circumstances of the world today.

Either way, the random matches being added, including Bobby Lashley vs Aleister Black, proves that there is little creative effort going into the build to WrestleMania 36. This includes the Brock Lesnar segment from last night, which we felt was a wasteful utilization of the WWE Champion.

There's only one episode of RAW before the road to WrestleMania ends and they haven't done too much with the Lesnar-Drew McIntyre feud either. While we understand that there's limited staff (and that perhaps applies to creative as well), certain segments and the addition of matches with no build confirms that the creative input has reduced.

Right now, WWE's priority is to get it all over with.
