The Business of WWE

There were a few sizable insights that came from the November 12, 2019 episode of WWE Backstage. The biggest revelation was that CM Punk is officially contracted with FOX and is on a WWE program after departing nearly 6 years ago. He will appear starting next week, November 19, on WWE Backstage on FS1. However, … Read moreBackstage Scoop

Bray Wyatt could easily have a job as a member of the WWE creative team after he finishes his in-ring career. The reason I say this is because of how imaginative he gets with his own gimmick. Most of the promos and extras that provide his character with direction are not by the creative team … Read moreBray Wyatt’s Future After WWE

WWE’s fourth – and likely their best show in Saudi Arabia may very well be their last. The event showcased a major title change and the first-ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia. This has not been confirmed by anyone. The reason I mention this is because a few major superstars who were involved in all … Read moreSaudi Arabia Shows Could come to an End

WWE will clearly be in excellent hands when Triple H gets the torch passed to him by Vince McMahon and begins running the entire company. The main roster may start to be run a little more like NXT. WWE recently had its best episode of SmackDown since the show’s debut on FOX, and part of … Read moreWWE in Great Hands for the Foreseeable Future

NXT’s inclusion at Survivor Series officially marks, at least in my mind, that NXT is now viewed on a level playing field with the main roster in WWE. NXT superstars already feel that way, and they definitely should because the black and gold brand has always had excellent in-ring work. Superstars are also protected in … Read moreNXT at Survivor Series

The fact that WWE superstars, for the most part, are exclusive to one brand – either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown – and thanks to the WWE draft (even if it was a somewhat lackluster draft) were both done in an attempt to eliminate the problem of overexposure. Top stars within the company … Read moreOverexposure Problem Largely Reduced

The dynamic between Roman Reigns and the entire WWE fanbase is a blatantly obvious demonstration of how the company should elect to push superstars going into the future. WWE cannot seem to create the next John Cena with any one particular superstar. Instead, the company will probably need to alternate between anywhere from 5-8 Superstars. … Read moreRollins Off TV for a While

Quite a few members of the WWE universe are complaining about the quality of the product. In fairness, they always do, and to a small degree, it gets on my nerves. I admit, the quality of the content that WWE was putting out wasn’t the best say six months ago. Now I think people are … Read moreThe State of Monday Night Raw

The fact that WWE has separated its talent with another draft and made them exclusive to one brand will enhance the quality of life for the superstars because they will no longer have to work Raw and SmackDown on any given week (which occasionally did happen). It will serve to improve the superstars’ quality of … Read moreSuperstars’ Quality of Life Improvement

Some WWE superstars recently commented on the negative reaction to the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View on October 6. Fans were not hesitant to voice their extreme displeasure with the result. In response, some superstars such as Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, and Drew McIntyre commented in response, asking fans in summation to please have just … Read moreFans’ Negative Responses

The official debut of WWE Backstage on FS1 isn’t until November 5, 2019, but FOX Sports showed a special preview episode this past week on October 15 (it was very successful). This will go a long way towards changing the perception of generic sports fans to view WWE superstars as legitimate athletes. This is something … Read moreWWE Backstage Premiere

The possibility has at least been discussed internally of NXT touring around the United States and holding its events in venues that hold about 5,000 people. Currently, NXT is taped weekly from Full Sail University. This facility can only comfortably accommodate about 1,500 people. If this were to happen, it would begin in January 2020, … Read moreNXT Possibly Touring
