WWE: Creative, Royce Keys, Dragon Lee | NXT Vengeance Day preview | AEW Revolution builds

WWE creative shakeup
There were some significant WWE creative shakeups confirmed on Thursday. The most notable being Road Dogg Brian James leaving WWE from his significant role on the SmackDown side.
WWE creative promotion
Alexandra Williams announced that she has been promoted to a vice president role, making her the lead writer for Monday Night Raw. If memory serves, I believe she's the first female lead writer in WWE history.
Darby Allin injury concern
Darby took a fall over the ropes where he landed directly on his head and neck, right on the ring apron. He literally held his head in his hands. It clearly hurt him. Not only was there no stoppage he wrestled the rest of the match.
Royce Keys WWE status
Royce Keys not appearing on WWE TV outside of those really short interview clips that should be longer has become a serious topic of conversation amid a report that WWE is getting him used to their production and waiting for the right time to factor him into the product.
AEW booking criticism
It's time to admit that this is Vince McMahon, late 2010s WWE booking at this point, every week, the same match in the same spot. There has been no depth added to the feud this entire time.
Dragon Lee mask controversy
When a luchador loses his mask, every effort is made to cover his face as soon as possible. Just because that happens doesn't mean his face is fair game. Think of it like a wardrobe malfunction. Kayfabe may be dead, but we can still respect the athletes and traditions.
AEW booking logic
It's insane booking logic to me. Use other people on your roster and build them up while your champions are champions for their titles.
NXT Championship match
I don't really see Saints winning this right away. He is so much better working for under than he is as champion. So they got to figure out a way for Hendry to come out on top here, yet still protect Saints to a degree.
Sol Ruka development
Soul is the next in that line. I understand they want to rush her up to main. They absolutely should not do it. She needs at least another three or four months, better yet, six, nine or 12 in NXT.
NXT Vengeance Day predictions
I don't see how you can have Lennox win this and D'Angelo have any footing in this entire brand going forward. So it has to be D'Angelo.
