Jumping Ships!
Great Part of the attitude era was seeing wrestlers who had a degree of stardom in other promotions have success in WWF. Examples of this were Chris Jericho and the Radicalz.
WWE today has aquired a lot of stars from other promotions like Kevin Steen Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe. And rumors are we maybe seeing so many more. With the unpredictablity of debuts, that’s on reason WWE may have another attitude era
Pride of Samoa
In the attitude era, The Rock was one of that era’s biggest and Brightest stars. Some would argue The Rock wasn’t the best in the ring , but, he was pushed to the greatness he is today.
Roman Regins isn’t the best we know that. However, he continues to be pushed to the moon. I believe that WWE is trying to make another “Great one” in that of Roman Regin
Hand Picked Champion
The “Face of WWE” isn’t a title WWE just adopted today. Storylines in which the higher ups hand pick a champion was a huge part of the Attitude era. The corporation wanted a star who looked the part and would do “what’s best for business” and at that time, Triple H fit the bill.
Full circle and now HHH is in charge and he adopted the same morals as daddy in law had. He has a hand picked champion in Seth Rollins. A pretty boy, long haired, cheating champion.
Side note, The comparisons between HHH and Rollins can be made even more because they both came from a Rebellious faction in DX and The Shield. Huh.
Corporate Control
One of the biggest parts of the attitude era was the Corporation’s power over everyone else. They were the bullies in the back who controlled superstars like puppets. The same can be said today. The Coporation lead by Vince McMahon and the Authority lead by Triple H are mirrors of eachother as they do whatever it takes to win, hire hands to do their dirty work, and destroy anyone who stands in their way

Nothing better than a crazy person who can do whatever they want whenever they want.
In the Attitude Era, Stone Cold did things we wish we could do to our bosses. He was the most entertaining character on Raw because he was unpredictable. The only thing you knew the Raddlesnake would do is kick some ass.
Now we got the Lunatic Fridge Dean Ambrose. Who is in my opinion the most entertaining character today in WWE. Like Stone Cold, Ambrose rise has been quick, and the people love Ambrose. But all Dean Loves is beating the hell out of people and raging against the machine.
Austin and Ambrose lead the world in a war against injustice. And they both are bringing some “Attitude”to their Eras (see what I did there
