The gap between PS4/Xbone and Switch is considerably smaller than the gap between PS3 and Wii.

Not at all, the Wii was basically a GC CPU packed in with another coprocessor who mostly handled the I/O of the Wiiremotes if I recall correctly.
The Wii is a might fine machine capable of a massive 12 GFLOPs of power with 88MB of ram
In comparison to the Xbox 360s - 240 GFLOPs with 512MB
That's a 20x difference in CPU power and almost 6times the amount of memory, not to mention in every other way that it beats it around the place.
If you look at the Wii-U GFLOPs which comes in at 350 and consider that to be under what the Switch is packing given the ability to run games from the Wii-U at 1080p rather than 720p such as MK8D even comparing that to the insane 6teraflop X1X is a 17x difference in processoring power, but really those WWE games are unlikely to have 4k assets and much focus on 4k so you're looking at a comparison to the base systems which would be in the 1.5teraflop range giving a 4x difference in power from Switch / PS4, as well as the Switch having 4gb of ram in comparison to the ps4/X1's 8gb. they're a whole lot closer now than the Wii was to the HD twins.
Sorry there above using the WiiU numbers, had a look about but couldn't find the Switch figures, like I said, just going from the WiiU's power from the way it handles WiiU software.

There is still a considerable power difference, which is even greater now thanks to XBX and PS4P, also the WWE 2K games already look terrible. Given the power difference I really don't think the switch version will look good in comparison given the talent of the devs. Or at least the focus in that department.

XBX and Pro won't be the baseline for WWE though, the standard models will, and while they are indeed more powerful than Switch, it's nowhere near the massive power divide we saw in the 7th gen.
That's not to say the Switch version will necessarily look good, (crickey that chick is ugly) but it's far from another Wii/PS3 situation.
