WWE's dependence on veteran talent is a mixed bag, but it does have its upsides. In fact, letting younger talent slowly rise to the challenge and cement themselves as the next big thing is a great way to build new stars. It's not a guaranteed way to succeed, but this approach gives promising competitors the chance to thrive in the spotlight.

Still, this method can easily backfire. If WWE continues to make young babyfaces the butt of the joke and rely on 50/50 booking, fresh talent will continue to struggle. But if the company allows the younger babyfaces to get one over on veteran stars, this proactive booking could help WWE prosper in the future.

Ultimately, it comes down to execution and WWE's willingness to utilize the stars of the past in the interest of buidling a brighter future. With the seeds the company is currently planting on RAW and SmackDown, WrestleMania 37 could be an incredible clash between the past and the present.
