5 Reasons why WWE's ratings dropped again this week (10-16 June 2019)

#2 Super ShowDown pay per view

Its obvious WWE is still reeling from The Superstar showdown pay per view.

Another big thing that put WWE behind the eight ball heading into their weekly television programming was the fact that they had just arrived home from their big show in Saudi Arabia.

Not only did this most likely cause immense jet lag for creative and Superstars alike, but it also gave them little time to prepare for what's next.

In all honestly, WWE had to take a 13-hour plane ride home and be ready for five hours of on-air programming in one week. While some might think that shouldn't be a problem for a company as gigantic as WWE, this, along with the various other issues plaguing the company created a snowball effect of sorts.

And that snowball effect forced WWE to put on a pretty safe week of programming for the WWE Universe, which came across as lazy.

Of course that' wasn't enough for a lot of fans, who were interested to see what WWE did with the product after Superstar Showdown, but with Stomping Grounds right around the corner, who could blame them for taking a safe approach for one week?
