Vince McMahon recently spoke on WWE’s second-quarter earnings call. During this, he spoke about the declining ratings for RAW and Smackdown.
Vince ended up sharing what he thinks that WWE could be doing better. Here is what he said (h/t to Fightful for the quote below):
“More than any other sport, our audience is part of our program. Audience interaction is always a plus. It goes back to the origination of this genre in terms of ‘yay!’ and ‘boo!’ The audience is integral to our success and ratings,”
Notwithstanding that, I think we can have more compelling characters, better storylines, new characters coming in, and more content that is not necessary in-ring and is more focused on personalities outside the ring
Vince was also asked how AEW and NXT were able to maintain their viewership numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here is what he said:
“Both are new. It’s up to us to make Raw and SmackDown feel more youthful and that is where we’re going. You always have to build characters, constantly.”
