As bad as Raw was (in my view), I'm pretty sure Netflix execs aren't looking for 25 minute matches made day of. They also probably have no idea who Meltzer or SRS are and have no interest in JDfromNY screaming in his apartment. I don't know if they're pleased or not but all WWE has to do is point to the full house in LA and I'm sure that impressed them.
There's a talking point that Netflix is upset, may toss Raw to the curve in a few years, and Triple H's days are numbered. Meanwhile, they just did 15k Monday, will have 30k+ each night of Summerslam, and Netflix apparently wants more Unreal seeing as how a third season just debuted. If you're an executive with a heavy interest in WWE, none of that sounds bad.
Creatively, WWE isn't great atm and hasn't been for awhile but as long as butts are still in seats, I have a feeling Netflix is content. This bubble we're in is tiny. The money guys do not care what Russo has to say about Triple H on YouTube or what Redditors are saying daily about WWE's "AI slop" PLE posters. This is like when WWE fans kept saying WBD was upset with AEW and may cancel them. It's fantasy doom booking.
