WWE STOCKS SORE BUT VIEWERSHIP IS DECLINING
The WWE should be proud as a company in whole as the stock on the NYSE hit $50 closing on May 17th 2018 with an announcement of the new contract with NBC UNIVERSAL for Monday Night Raw on USA Network on Monday nights.
The deal is being reported to be worth 400 million dollars per year for the WWE Company.
However there is some bad news along with the good the other show called Smackdown was not re-signed in the contract according to reported sources. It seems WWE will need to find a new home for this show and there is not currently a reported party that has come to the table as of yet. Seems WWE is thinking of several ideas including of just putting Smackdown on the WWE Network.
There has been some talk from WWE about placing the show on Fox, Amazon, or Facebook as well.
According to WWE the WWE NETWORK is currently at 2.12 Million viewers. There also is talk of extending Smackdown to a 3 hour show as well for better advertising time and more story lines.
VIEWERSHIP IS AT THE LOWEST POINT EVER ON RAW AND SMACKDOWN:
It has been reported since Wrestle-Mania 34 the TV ratings for both shows are down but they both hit the lowest TV ratings just last week on the Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
WWE being a fan based show. It seems the fans are not buying into many of the story lines of the WWE currently. Since the show did a recent SHAKEUP with many of the entertainers fans feel that an edge has been lost in heels vs good guys or baby faces. After all WWE is a lot about the story lines not just the wrestling. Fans love to cheer and boo, and follow the story lines created by WWE.
Also WWE had signed a contract with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar who only has defended his WWE Championship 6 times and rarely shows up on Raw or even Pay Per Views. This choice by WWE could lead to several issues not only with the fans but other Entertainers who currently are working with the WWE.
I wrote an article about the WWE and how it could collapse as a company and here was my theory:
Though the company is experiencing all new heights with the company profits, revenues and stocks if at any point the entertainers ever decide to walk or strike because of the choices the WWE company makes with Brock Lesnar than all that work and building goes down the drain. WWE is purely based on the entertainers performing and the fans viewership of the shows WWE produces.
The minute WWE entertainers say we are not wrestling the WWE stock most likely sky rocket down, and if this ever happened I believe the company may be done for as well.
