How? I dont think u understand how big the wwe juggernaut is..they could do the Amazon thing.
Amazon is a juggernaut because of a number of factors: online marketplace for goods/books on total lockdown, firestick/kindle is poppin, on demand content, so they've got money to blow on original programming. They can make the content, stream the content, sell you the content on Bluray. They've got the game tied up every way you look.
WWE's got live shows and merch, the network, and their TV deal. The network being
completely dependent on that TV deal. The TV deal not only brings in the most money, it provides the advertising for the network. If you lose that....you've basically not only closed off the flow to the river, you've drained the river. They need those ratings to be up. For that to have happened, they needed to focus on pushing stars that people wanted instead of fighting for the ones they didn't.
