RUMOR: That Sounds Bad. How Low Is Morale Backstage In WWE And Who Seems To Have Given Up?

It’s not a good sign. Things are not going very well in WWE right now, at least from a fan enthusiasm perspective. Fans have not been pleased with the storylines and there is a general feeling of apathy to most of the product. That is only on one side for the curtain however. The locker room could be in a very different place, but is that what is going on at the moment?

According to Brad Shepard, the locker room morale is very bad at the moment in WWE, with very few top talents being interested in making things better. Daniel Bryan and Rowan are said to be frustrated over not moving forward, Bayley and the Revival are not happy despite being champions and Seth Rollins/Becky Lynch and Charlotte/Andrade are too wrapped up in their relationships to care. Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre are exceptions and care about having a top level feud.

Reigns and McIntyre have been at this for a long time. Check out one of their more recent brawls:

Opinion: I’m really not sure about this as it seems unlikely that so many people are just not caring about what goes on in the company. Things are very bad, but I find it hard to believe that so many people are this uninterested. That being said, how excited could you get when it seems that so little going on in WWE matters at the moment due to such a lack of long term planning?
