They have a lot of great talent that just needs to be given the chance and right material to succeed and become mainstream stars for them.

Shinsuke Nakamura is the most charismatic creature to ever grace this earth.
Also, they gave Zack Ryder a wrestlemania moment. Follow up be damned, it will be the moment they replay on video packages to say that "Anything can happen in the WWE" and it was my biggest mark out moment since I started watching.

Mauro Renallo's commentary, with the return of Heel King. God willing, Mauro will get called up to RAW and hopefully replace Saxton.
Even if its a little disappointing Becky didn't get the Title, I love that she has an angle going with Emma. Its amazing the Women's Division is at the point where at least two if not three different involving them can occur at the moment.
Most of the fueds have been good, like Jericho's with Styles recently. Now we have Zayn vs. Owens to look forward to ensuring more goodness on the way.
The midcard and lowcard both are FINALLY having some more angles, like Neville's feud with Stardust and the emergence of Social Outcasts whom are just as entertaining as New Day. A future New Day/Social Outcasts would be a comedy gold mine.
Miz's booking adjusting better to his personality. He was born to be an ego-centric B-list movie star, and Maryse as his manager works thanks in no small part to their natural chemistry as a married couple.
Roman Reigns as a douchbag tweener, rather than the forced babyface WWE wanted him to be or the corporate champion the smarks wanted (which would not work either in my view).
All this and we're coming off a near perfect episode of RAW that anyone would scoff at if you told would come to be a year ago, and Smackdown on a wave of quality post-USA move.

I'll praise the roster. Would be hard-pressed to think of a time when it has ever been better. But ... Ok yeah, I'll just praise the roster.

As a WWE Fan that used to buy a couple (4-8) PPV's a year... the Network is, without hyperbole, the best purchase a WWE Fan like me could have ever made.* I almost feel guilty for all the stuff I get to watch now compared to shelling out $50 to watch The Great American Bash once and cry myself to sleep with buyers remorse. *As long as you have the internet/tech to handle it damn I spent tons of $$ on VHS tapes back in the day.

I think there's a lot of good to be said. That roster is just loaded with world class talent from top to bottom. The Women's division is more credible than it's ever been. How all that talent gets USED is an entirely different matter, but their talent roster itself, between the main roster and NXT, is second to none in the entire world.

-In-ring talent is very solid.
-No more brand split and eliminating unnecessary titles the last few years.
-Robust tag team division.

They have an absolute dream roster featuring indy darlings, main eventers, legends and promising up and comers.
They have their own network that can potentially showcase said roster to their fullest as well as the biggest video library of wrestling in America if not the whole world.
Banning certain moves help keep the wrestlers healthy in the long run.
Wellness testing helps keep the wrestlers clean.
They haven't done anything to Xavier Woods yet for having a video game channel on Youtube.

Plenty of positives right now.
- In terms of in ring talent, the roster is perhaps the best it's ever been.
- WWE Network is an absolute bargain, and provides literally hours and hours of entertainment.
- Finally beginning to embrace the wrestling world outside of WWE, with guys coming in with established characters, and stuff like the upcoming Cruiserweight Series.
- Finally treating the women with respect.
- NXT Takeover consistently being amazing shows
- Bayley being one of the best babyfaces in HISTORY.
- AJ Styles being awesome, and making TNA look like bigger muppets every week for letting him go.
- The God of wrestling that is Shinsuke Nakamura.

Many things that have already been mentioned and CFO$ after a slow start are excellent and please don't underestimate the importance to the product that Jim Johnson having a quality successor makes.

SmackDown, once you get past the obviously edited in crowd reactions, is really fun to watch.
Long-term programs are in style, with Jericho and Ambrose taking the scenic route to their inevitable feud.

The actual wrestling action delivers.
Smackdown is awesome.
Mauro Ranallo is a pleasure to listen to.
NXT delivers, especially with big moments and shows.
The Network is the best $10 spent every month.

A solid divas division I can now look forward too the matches and really root for Banks and Lynch.
NXT Takeovers are amazing. It has all the production but doesn't really feel like a WWE event but still feels special. You know there will be a couple of awesome matches and everyone puts on a show.
