What We Think

WWE SmackDown remains a prime example of non-woke entertainment, full of wild athleticism, classic rivalries, and unapologetic, old-school sensibilities. Modern ideological narratives are nowhere to be found; it's all about spectacle and good-versus-evil showmanship.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

WWE SmackDown has always focused on over-the-top personalities, rivalries, and athleticism rather than pushing identity politics or reworking characters to fit modern ideological standards. Storylines center on skill, merit, and personal feuds, not ticking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show strongly celebrates traditional masculinity, family alliances, and even the occasional nod to religion or patriotism. It doesn't shy from depicting masculine virtues or playing to classic archetypes, often bordering on parody but never outright mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While most perspectives are filtered through a sports entertainment lens, alternative worldviews do occasionally appear, even if played for laughs. Traditional and dissenting voices are part of the fun, not demonized or erased.
