- Start date
I don't even mess with Cody like that but isn't he currently outselling every other wwe talent on fanatics?

Yes, But Fanatics is the absolute worst place to buy from. The quality is worse than the bazaars that sell fake name brand clothing. The Bloodline, Punk, Cena, and SCSA constantly dominate the top 5 on the WWE shop.
Can anyone really sit here and honestly say that SD hasn't lost a ton of momentum since Mania? Now everyone is crossing their fingers for Rock to return tomorrow. Never had anyone begging for legends to appear when Roman was champ...
True that. They got so much stuff going on in raw in 2024 that there's no comparison. They were loading up for the Netflix move so SD didn't have much on there.

What do you mean by that? Not challenging your post just wondering why you placed sellouts in quotation

Remember when they shrunk the stage because the ticket demand was so high? Now there's a giant black curtain to cover the seats that aren't selling. They're on pace to sell less tickets in the same building RAW was at a few months ago as well. Overall interest in SD has slowly decreased, while RAW & NXT continues to rise.

That's interesting, I hadn't really noticed tbh..
If that's accurate, one thing could be that fans no longer think they are getting Roman Reigns.
They know they are getting some Bloodline antics but the story with Roman takes weeks off

Notice that big ass curtain?
Well, I agree that the original Bloodline Saga was a definitive peak for the SD! brand so there's nowhere to go but level off or decline for a bit until they can ramp it back up, likely when Roman and The Rock use their dates in the lead up to Royal Rumble and Mania.
Your opinion is that it's on Cody?
The good thing is RAW and NXT have been hitting home runs.

Half on Cody and half on HHH's shytty ass booking. SD has too much talent to be as dry as they've been since Mania. Montez proved last night why they need to do more with him.

For the past couple of months there's been WWE TV shows (haven't really paid attention when it's RAW or SD, tbh) that went from 12-14k sellouts to 7-10k sellouts or total attendance, depending on the building the set up they were running. Meaning they cut back on doing shows that barely had a entrance in order to open up more seats. They are still doing it for PLEs as far as I'm aware though, because that demand is still crazy high.
To be fair, there's no world were WWE would've been capable of sustaining the level of tickets sold that they were doing from January to March/April, that shyt was insane. So going "back" to normal setups (80% of an arena + floor seats, and either sell it out or get very close to it) makes sense.
Will be interesting if once January kicks in and The Rock and Bloodline angle once again take center stage, they go back to opening up arenas the same way the did it this year. Like I said, that shyt was pretty fukking crazy.
Notice that big ass curtain?
Bridgestone is a small ass venue and there were plenty of empty seats and the hardcam side ain't empty, but, it's got a lot of equipment and empty seats.
If that's a trend, no, the WWE is not selling out these building. There likely selling out their seating scheme.

Everything you said is true, but the lackluster effort from SD makes it easier for fans to stay at home.
Could it be a case that there is too much wrestling available and fans just get tired by Friday? With Raw and NXT available earlier in the week, some people may want to want to watch something else, especially since there are other options to do on a Friday night.
