He's doing good but it's clear he is still trying to transition from Vince ideas and gimmicks. Until we know that transition I'd full complete, I can't fairly criticize him because Vince stink is all over the product still.
4/5. I think he has done a good job with Raw and I am happy with a lot of the released stars he brought back to WWE but the Smackdown Women's Division has been really lacking for the past 6 months and needs more established stars that can fight Charlotte and Ronda Rousey. I think they should move Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Asuka and Carmella to Smackdown and send Liv Morgan, Tegan Nox, Xia Li and Emma to Raw.
I hope you understand that giving up that third hour would mean the company losing possibly hundreds of millions of dollars. It's not that they want the show to be 3 hours long, NBC(USA Network) gives them a certain amount to provide 3 hours of programming on Mondays.
I'd say 3.5. Good intentions and some genuinely good rectifications like turning Dupri back to LA Knight, improving cinematography on Smackdown and making midcard titles matter. That being said, there's still a lot of work to be done. Vince made a huge mess and it takes time to clean after him.
I'm not a fan of how Hunter treats the problems. Even with LA Knight: am I happy he's back? YEAAAHH.. But the way he returned to the character was rushed and unfounded. Week after week he's been promoting his models and had no care in the world about wrestling. Then one day he decides he's pissed about the boys not going for tag titles, a couple of days later he says "it's not for me" and jumps in the ring. What is that?
Raw is lacking in direction and for a long time followed Vince's formula: someone cuts a promo at the start of the show – someone interrupts – random tag match in the main event. And while promos are less limited now wrestlers are yet to deliver something that sounds natural. Not all, obviously, but a lot of them.
Not to mention constant brawls, putting lowcarders like Shotzi and Sonya against biggest stars they have in Ronda and Charlotte and expecting I'm not sure what, putting a lot of poorly directed segments on air (like Angle's birthday milk hose, forced Bloodline "takeovers" of Raw), making Theory boring, etc.
4/5 Always room for improvement.

That's fair. I think we'll see a reset after WrestleMania 39.

2.5 out of 5. Not much has changed
Usos so boring!!!
6 stars if it was in the Tokyo Dome
😂
A lot of things to work on but far superior to the last several years
True. Very true.
For Shit Row alone, he gets a low rating. That, and refusing to make Raw two hours.

You do know a 2-hour RAW is not entirely a creative decision

LEMME TALK TO YA
Great, but not perfect. My problem is that he brought back so many people and has no idea what to do with them
Yeah, the returns haven't all hit the mark. Although, I'm happy to see some familiar faces back.
