PWInsider reported that a source noted to them that Vince McMahon has recently been "very upset" and openly "frustrated" with Raw.
During the Q1 2020 investors call in late April, McMahon was asked why ratings have declined despite the company being the only live sports content on television during the pandemic. Even though SmackDown ratings have also suffered, McMahon claimed that SmackDown ratings had seen virtually no change, while RAW has suffered because of the new talent on the brand, who need time to get over.
"So there's no audience and it's a different show, a completely different show," Vince said. "And I think we're going to get there. While we may be able to take this negative and already turn it into somewhat of a positive, as far as ratings and what have you are concerned. SmackDown has virtually been no change, very little. RAW has suffered, but not necessarily because of the environment, it's suffered because we bring in a lot of new talent and to RAW, and it takes a while to get these new talents over.
"We no longer have Brock Lesnar obviously, but we have a new champion and a lot of new performers coming in. So it takes a while. So that's the reason, and how you use those performers in this story or that story or what have you. So, with new talent it's just going to take a little while. I'm convinced though, that the RAW's ratings are going to bounce back considerably."

The writing had gotten better this past month on both RAW and SDL. I don't know who is responsible for it but..
Lashley/MVP
Street Profits
Apollo Crews
Seth Rollins stable
Zelina Vega stable
Otis/Mandy/Ziggler/Sonya
Sasha/Bayley
Asuka and her stuff
It wasn't bad..

We know the deal, he probably cut and undermined Heyman always and he took the fall. Not saying that Paul is perfect but even during this run he focused on trying to build new guys and when that happens if Vince dont see it hes gonna do his self fufilling prophecy sabotage shyt
Let’s be honest... Paul was fukked. You ain’t going to be able to create new stars with no audience and appeal to Vince.
Vince spent years undercutting stars from every being bigger than the WWE. Well, now it's just a brand recognition and it really don't sell shyt..

Paul shouldve beat Smackdown to the punch and had Rey throw a cup of piss in Seth’s face

As long as they pigenhold talent in favor of shareholders and advertisers the ratings will drop. This has become worse and worse for like 16 years now. WWE more restrictive than an iPhone.

i been away to long, my feeling died.
Street Profits isn’t bad?? You can’t be serious. Them not wrestling but bowling and running track is good with the Viking raiders? This is the worse segment in the show.
Otis and Mandy is Smackdown
Sasha and Bayley is Smackdown
Lashley and MVP is okay but where is it going?
