5 Desperate measures that Vince McMahon could take to increase WWE TV ratings

#2. Call back The Champ

Will The Champ return to save the company that he has helped shaped in the last decade? — Will The Champ return to save the company that he has helped shape in the last decade?

There are only a handful of Superstars in WWE's history who always manage to get a reaction whenever they are in the ring. John Cena is probably on top of that list. The 16-time World Champ has been a massive part of WWE's Programming for the last decade and a half.

However, things aren't the same anymore as Cena has transitioned into a part-timer owing to his commitments and ventures in Hollywood. He last appeared on WWE TV at WrestleMania where he gave all his fans a flashback of his initial "Thugonomics" gimmick. The segment was a massive hit and fans have been asking for more of it on social media.

Looking at the recent state of ratings, it won't be a big surprise if Vince decides to go back to his original poster boy, whom he rightly calls the "Babe Ruth of wrestling", John Cena. A return from The Champ for a semi full-time schedule would surely increase the ratings, and if Vince decides to pull off his trump card and turn Cena heel, who knows, this situation could become completely opposite and the ratings could hit the ceiling.
