Per Ibou of Wrestlepurists:
>Ticket sales are soft compared to a few months ago, and they’re done from this time last year. Viewership is also down from last year, with some of the lowest numbers ever starting to pop up. There was always the expectation things would drop after Mania, but this has caused a panic backstage.
>HHH has been in daily meetings with Endeavor leadership, basically he’s explaining every single day what he’s doing to turn things around. There’s been talk of UFC crossovers, of getting more YouTubers on TV, even some discussion of bringing back the guest host idea from way back when.
>I don’t necessarily think they need to be worried, but Endeavor is very much about cost cutting and profit generating, so this is a worrying trend for them. When you go from selling out arenas every week to barely selling half of a building? People wonder what the hell happened. Injuries obviously didn’t help, plus Rock and Roman are gone, so a lot of the big draws are gone. Cody is kicking ass as champ, it’s not on him, he’s still a top merch seller and his meet and greets always have a ton of fans.
