>>12060971Ironically its because of diversity. WWE has decided to embrace the broadest demo possible. They push black wrestlers, asian ones, mexican ones, euro ones and they all attract a wider audience. When you watch WWE the audience is a bunch of different races and there's always a lot of kids and younger people there. But when you watch AWE the entire crowd is old fat white neckbeards. That's why WWE can sell 10 k+ tickets for a random taping of Raw and AWE arenas are always half empty.
When AWE decided it was going to embrace all these weird political stances it limited itself to the white fedora redditer smark crowd and once you become the "uncool" promotion, the stink never comes off. Normal people would rather watch Cody and Cena in a sold our arena and have fun without having to be reminded of depressing politics.
