Ouch. WWE Gets Some Bad News About The WWE Network.

Well that’s not good. The WWE Network might be the biggest came changer for fans in the history of professional wrestling. For a rather low price, fans can now watch almost anything WWE related that they want with the click of a single button. That is almost impossible to pass up, but as time is going on, it seems that more and more fans are going with the impossible.

During today’s Q2 2019 Earnings Report by way of Wrestlinginc.com, WWE announced that the WWE Network averaged 1.688 million paid subscribers in the quarter, down 6% from the 1.8 million during the same quarter in 2018. Domestic subscriptions are also down to 1.237 million from 1.316 million (-6%) over the same span. It should be noted that the second quarter includes WrestleMania, which is usually the peak of subscribers for the year.

This is the kind of thing you can get on the WWE Network. Check out an ad for an upcoming special:

Opinion: It’s yet another sign that WWE is not doing well at the moment and really, that’s not too surprising. Fans just do not care about what they’re presenting at the moment and that could not be much more clear. Maybe things can get better, but this is another example of how bad things are going. The Network isn’t going anywhere, but they definitely need to fix the product being presented.
