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.
