4 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 4 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon "really likes" popular WWE star, SmackDown star loses push because of Roman Reigns?

#3. Hope isn't true: Employees in WWE could be at risk of losing their jobs due to the low RAW rating

The record-low RAW rating caused a stir backstage.

The record-low RAW rating last week of 1.5 million reportedly caused a major stir backstage. RAW had never reached such a low number in 27 years, but backstage in WWE, people are walking on eggshells.

As per Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, the low RAW rating caused a major stir backstage in WWE and some are at risk of losing their jobs. Sportskeeda's Lennard Surrao wrote:

People backstage are reportedly walking on eggshells due to the record-low numbers. There is also talk that a few Royal Rumble plans that were in the discussion phase could be changed or nixed. It was additionally reported that if the viewership and ratings don't improve, then we could expect to see a few people get fired from the creative department of the WWE.

We hope this isn't true because the backstage morale in WWE will take a dip if jobs are at risk.
