Without bringing up revenue and/or AEW, give me some reasons to continue watching WWE?

Roman sucks. Always has. Always will. That brief period where Heyman was his mouthpiece was the only time Roman seemed like a star rather than the talented, coddled bitch that got a rocket strapped to his back simply because Vince decided he was the next top guy.

Nah, let's not be hyperbolic. AEW has more lively, passionate crowds in large part due to lower ticket prices allowing lower income fans to attend shows too. That's also a bonus. Plus AEW feels more chaotic and has less of a corporate feel, whereas WWE feels very structured and safe like everything they do has passed through HR for approval. Promos feel more natural and less like they're completely scripted unlike WWE (with some exceptions like the Rock of course).
AEW isn't good though. Their wrestling looks even more cooperative and less believable, albeit for different reasons (unrealistic moves, cooperation on spot setup, lack of selling and finisher spam, anime style storytelling rather than subtle sports/fight centric stories in the ring, etc.).
I could go on but this thread really isn't about AEW. It's about WWE. You are right that both WWE and AEW suck and I don't expect that to change.

If it's a very small crowd then it's not more lively. It's just that the noise seems louder because the place is smaller. Also the chaotic nature isn't a good thing when it only translates into massive botches and storylines written on the fly.

Liveliness has nothing to do with crowd size. It's about the percentage of the crowd that is engaged and actively reacting to the show, rather than on their phones. Yes, smaller venues make it easier to achieve. We saw that especially with ECW back in the day.

Chaotic feel is always a good thing in pro wrestling. You should feel like anything can happen. I agree that AEW does not capitalize on it and, like you said, what we get are botches and storylines that go nowhere. That's still better than feeling like a corporate product run through an HR filter though.

Same reason why you wouldn't skip 1996 in an attitude era rewatch, you won't appreciate WWE as much when it gets hot again if you do.
Honestly just skip the filler segments or have it on as background noise so you stay aware of them in some way and watch the main angles only.

It's not even close man. You have MJF and nothing else. Takeshita and Fletcher both have a ton of potential, sure, but they aren't required viewing at this point. Other than those three, i can't think of anyone else to give a shit about

it can't help itself
it needs to bring up the "other party"
