WWE Needs To Fix The Vision, And It’s Pretty Obvious How They Can Do It

by

I have to admit the current storyline with Vision isn’t really clicking. It’s been hard to say that because there have been a few good moments, and the performers themselves are all incredibly talented. However, seeing the same finishing moves happen at the end of Raw week after week is just getting stale and predictable. Luckily, WWE seems aware of the problem and knows how to make it better.

The show needs more time each week to focus on how the wrestlers interact with each other and to add some humor. We see them talking about strategy and arguing with Adam Pearce about rules, but rarely do we see them joking around or having personal conflicts with each other. Everything is so intensely serious, and that’s usually not a good way to build lasting fan interest.

Thinking about the original Judgment Day, a few things really stand out. First, the drama between Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan was a major highlight. Then there was Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 40. Also memorable was the funny storyline with R-Truth and JD McDonagh arguing over who was really in the group. And who could forget Dominik Mysterio’s arrest during his intense feud with his father? Finally, Edge being attacked and kicked out of Judgment Day was a key moment.

Beyond Damian Priest’s exciting Money in the Bank cash-in, the most memorable moments all focused on the personalities of the wrestlers and how they interacted with each other. Even Priest’s win felt more special because the group rallied around him and celebrated together like a close-knit family.

In the end, the wrestlers’ characters became so popular that Rhea and Priest had to switch to being fan favorites. Even Dominik, despite still playing a villain, received a huge ovation like Hulk Hogan when he won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41. Currently, fans are passionately calling for Finn Bálor to become a good guy and receive a bigger push, and JD McDonagh, who was once an overlooked talent, has become a respected performer and a personal favorite of many, earning opportunities for solo matches before his injury.

That success didn’t come from being featured prominently on Raw or simply dominating their opponents. It happened because they consistently delivered entertaining and well-developed storylines that focused on the characters and their connections with each other.

I won’t dwell on the original Bloodline storyline, but you could analyze it the same way. What people really remember is Sami Zayn’s constant need for approval. The complex and changing connection between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso is also key. Don’t forget Big Jim’s cheerful personality, even when things got intense, and Paul Heyman’s shifting allegiances, plus the question of where Solo Sikoa fit into everything.

Everyone was anticipating betrayals and wondering which characters would turn against each other, and when. That’s why it felt right for Cody Rhodes to lose – it allowed his storyline to continue developing over another year. Honestly, we were all just really enjoying the bad guys.

After nearly a year of The Vision storyline, there have been a few bright spots. Fans were genuinely surprised and entertained when Seth Rollins was kicked out of the group, and his fabricated injury added a great element of drama. Bronson Reed’s playful storyline where he stole Roman Reigns’ shoes also resonated well with the audience, leading to some of the best reactions of his career. Bron Breakker has delivered some strong promos, and the heated arguments between him and Adam Pearce, often involving Paul Heyman, have been engaging. However, considering this has been the main focus of Monday Night Raw for nine months, the overall impact hasn’t been strong enough, and the storyline’s momentum is fading.

The Vision has a lot of potential, thanks to both his engaging personality and the chance to turn things around. Logan Paul has already proven he can connect with audiences and shouldn’t be limited to just supporting roles in storylines. WWE should give him a more significant and active part in what happens next.

Is he truly prioritizing what’s best for The Vision, or himself? Is he fully committed to wrestling, or is his podcast taking precedence? Does he have an inflated ego? Perhaps he intentionally eliminates Bron Breakker from the Royal Rumble, and we can delve into that possibility?

Bronson Reed is a talented performer who deserves a more prominent role. He really stood out during his feud with Roman Reigns, and I’d love to see an action figure of him recreating the iconic image of him with Reigns’ shoes around his neck. While he was great in that storyline, he’s unfortunately lost some of his individual character since it ended, seeming to only have a personality when part of The Vision.

To motivate him, give him something to strive for – like winning a secondary championship. He could then boast about being the only one in the group to hold a title. Alternatively, create a storyline where he’s upset about earning less money than another wrestler, or involve him in a personal drama, perhaps with Adam Pearce’s sister. Even a simple plot where he randomly targets and defeats other lower-ranked performers each week could work.

Aside from Bobby Heenan, I consider Paul Heyman to be the best manager professional wrestling has ever seen. However, he hasn’t quite clicked with the group so far. We need to see how he interacts with the other members and determine how much influence he actually has. He’s done a lot of talking, but hasn’t yet translated that into success for the team.

We need to see a different side of Austin Theory, and figure out what his role is supposed to be. I still have faith in him, even though his recent storylines haven’t been great. Things have been less clear for him since Vince McMahon left, but I think he has the talent and personality to become a major star. He should be involved in something interesting every week, and we need to see more of his character!

The Royal Rumble is almost here, and I’ve put my predictions out there. Honestly, I don’t see Bron Breakker winning, and I don’t even think he should. A loss could actually be so much more compelling for his character, but WWE really needs to follow through with a smart storyline. Just having him go on a rampage won’t cut it. What we need are complex relationships, some humor, and the kind of team dynamics WWE has used for years to create truly great and lasting groups. That’s what would make things really interesting!
