TKO President Mark Shapiro recently announced that WWE and Triple H prioritize the use of AI to enhance efficiency and productivity. This decision has sparked backlash from fans on social media.
The criticism intensified during Tuesday’s episode of NXT, which featured a vignette in which ZARIA recapped her rivalry with Sol Ruca. The former friends concluded their feud on the NXT Revenge Week 2 special in a brutal Last Woman Standing Match, where ZARIA emerged victorious after throwing Ruca off the top of the stage and through a table.
Viewers quickly noticed the unnatural textures, awkward facial details, and odd transitions typical of AI-generated content. Many fans voiced their displeasure, accusing WWE of “shoving AI” in their faces.
This is not the first time WWE has used AI for vignettes; the company previously employed it to highlight the character OG El Grande Americano during his introduction last summer.
