WWE saw a lot of changes in 2023, as the company merged with the UFC under Endeavor's new TKO Group Holdings. Now in 2024, the company's production is on the verge of breaking out some new ideas for the company.

Kevin Dunn's era in WWE is over, and many fans are paying close attention to what the company puts on television. Some observant fans noticed two distinctive segments that didn't seem to fit the norm that Dunn established for decades.

Two segments have stood out from WWE Raw and SmackDown in recent memory. One featured Chelsea Green and Piper Niven at a club, confronting Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. The other, showcased on Smackdown, puts the spotlight on Butch/Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.

Sean Ross Sapp noted on Fightful Select that fans making comparisons to NXT would be accurate to do so. Triple H let Jeremy Borash make up a team in NXT, one that was off Kevin Dunn's radar of influence. Now that Dunn is gone, they can do a lot more that he would previously nix.

"We’re told that Triple H allowed Jeremy Borash to put together a team in NXT for the past three years, where it would be safely under Kevin Dunn’s radar. Triple H was said to have been happy with how they played out, and with Dunn’s departure, there is a door open to feature that style of promos across all WWE shows.

We’ve spoken to several people associated with helping put together the promos that spoke highly of the new process and the freedom to to them. One source noted that under Dunn, the segment would have likely cut away to several different things, but the new method was to let the characters breathe, and the segment to play out."

It seems that the people making these promos are having a good time. It was also noted that both segments received positive internal feedback.

Lee Fitting took over for Kevin Dunn upon his exit from the company. Many were shocked to see Dunn finally leave, but it came after Vince McMahon's retirement, as Dunn was Mr. McMahon's right-hand man in production.
