So what details, big and small have you noticed since the regime change
Let’s list them.
I noticed that riddle was looking at the tv like a normal person this week on raw. I think it was like that during Rey mysterios party where his family was watching his match backstage.
Also, is Shotzi the last one of the one name crew to not get her full name back?
I heard ciampa got the Tomasso back, it haven’t noticed

The IC and US titles are being treated with respect.
I think they stopped doing the thing were someone would come out for a match then be standing around in the darkness in front of the live crowd for 20 minutes while a bunch of video packages and promos played before their match eventually started.

Gunther is now GUNTHER. I know, not the name he came into WWE with, but it's now capitalized.

It just looks like they are trying to book everyone who gets to TV to have a reason to be on TV. Vince was just kinda throwing stuff out there against the wall and seeing what would stick. Hopefully all of the story arcs have a beginning middle and end as well.
For companies like WWE and to an extent AEW, how a wrestler is booked is equal to who is getting booked. Booking Dolph Ziggler suddenly as a babyface against Austin Theory with no real reasoning, explanation or payoff is a great example of late era Vince. On one hand, glad that Dolph is on TV and he'll have a great match with Theory- on the other it will never matter. This is what they have to continue to correct.

The commentators actually sound like they're able to have a conversation without an angry man yelling in their ears about corporate buzzwords.

Austin Theory is now being booked as a complete goober Though to be fair, many dudes that held the case looked like geeks before cashing in, especially heels. |

Shanky is sadly nowhere to be found in the HHH averse. The era of dancing big men or dancing men of any kind is now only a footnote in history. HHH will never get over jobbing too Alex Wright in WCW

More tag teams (Hit Row, and Imperium reforming), and tag matches being given more time

They're also able to acknowledge wrestling history in a way that wasn't possible under Vince. The crushingly repetitive 'comedy' of the 24/7 division and it's everyone-rolls-up-each-other-until-the-champ-gets-the-title-back bit have also disappeared from TV. |

That sublinal message they cut between frames calling Vince a big stupid dummy.
What, no one else saw those?

-announcers seem less buzzwordy, including Cole bringing up random wrestling history factoids; they don’t always throw to commercial in that same way anymore (“…as Raw rolls on!”)
-promos are more natural, and we’ve heard the use of the forbidden words like wrestling and belt
-they don’t typically do the video packages and backstage segments in between the entrances of a match which had been bothering people a lot
-almost all of the one-name changes have been reversed
-Dupri becoming Knight
-tag team division being featured more and more robust
-deeper roster in general
-IC and US titles being treated as prestigious (almost like world titles themselves)
-canned crowd noise seems lessened and maybe even eliminated
-24/7 title, and lumbering big men are almost non-existent (Shanky, Azeez, Omos, though the latter has been present on occasion).
