WWE's creative departments are reportedly under pressure following the backlash to Monday's episode of Raw, held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Several Netflix executives were in attendance and expressed dissatisfaction with the show's creative direction just days before SummerSlam. Issues cited include problems during the opening segment featuring Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, as well as a controversial concert segment with Danhausen and Joe Hendry.
