No Mercy was the best that the developers could do.
Every other iteration on WWE games was another attempt to do the best that the developers could do, until WWE games became DLC farms.
From there on out it's just a platform for digital merch such as special costumes and extra playable characters and so on.
Attempts to make a spiritual successor to No Mercy ultimately fail because they're trying to recapture a level of development that has been far surpassed.
They're not doing their best to do their own best, they're trying to work other people's gimmick from 25 years ago.
