They've been trying to be "cinematic" for a long time, and blockbuster movies have been doing too much of that shit. It's still annoying when it's stylistically done for narrative reasons (such as being "found footage" where the movie/show was supposedly shot with a cell phone or hand cam). WWE just does it to "create action" where there already is action and "be cool" when it's just seizure inducing movement for movement's sake. Video games have actually (unfortunately) copied that philosophy as well, and fill cutscenes with blurry, shaky cam because its supposedly stylistic.

I guarantee if most of the highest grossing films from the last 20 years went crazy with the "Scorsese stretch", WWE would be trying to do that for EVERY reaction shot of a person in the ring being "surprised" by a return or upset victory or someone appearing on the Titantron.
