Kevin Dunn’s departure from WWE has led to new production elements being used in promos on RAW and SmackDown.
Last week’s episodes of the main roster shows featured segments with different styles than WWE has generally used in the past years. For instance, Chelsea Green & Piper Niven’s confrontation with Kayden Carter and Katana Chance at a club on RAW as well as Butch and Tyler Bate’s meeting at a coffee shop on SmackDown were prime examples of the new production style WWE is gradually adopting.
Fightful Select is reporting that the segments, which had more of an element used in NXT, are the result of changes made since Dunn quit WWE. Both segments were generally well-received by the higher-ups in WWE.
Triple H had Jeremy Borash assemble a team in NXT for the past few years away from Dunn’s purview. The Game is reportedly pleased with how those elements played out and with Dunn now gone, there are plenty of opportunities to use them more on the main roster shows.
Several people who have worked on the segments have been very optimistic about the new process and having the freedom to do them.
One source noted that with Dunn in charge, the segment would have most likely cut away to several different things. Instead, the new production method allows the characters to breathe more.
