Ah yes. That would have been why. I did watch the rumble, found it subpar and nope'd out of the road to wrestlemania. 

What made it worse was Rousey winning on the women's side. Would have at least been nice to see one of the Rumbles being used to elevate someone. And with those two, you could have easily gotten the Mania matches they wanted without that.

We'll see if HHH is any better in this regard. The booking of the midcard has definitely been better, but they still haven't really pushed anyone to the top. The only major title change they've done is with Liv Morgan, and they didn't treat her like a star. It's only been a couple of months, so I'm not saying he won't, but I'm taking everything with a grain of salt until it does. Let's see who finally ends Reigns' reign.

The larger the ship, the longer it takes to turn. 2 months is still probably a lot of Vince's long-term booking in place. I wouldn't expect the product to feel drastically different until after we reach wrestlemania. Especially considering how it's usually treated as an end point for many storylines.
