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

#1 Sticking to a tired format

WWE needs to stop relying on the same old formula.

WWE has done a lot of things right lately, especially after their outright promise to do better, but the formulaic openings of their shows have still yet to change.

Not only is this type of booking lulling fans to sleep on both RAW and SmackDown Live, but it also makes everything very predictable.

Think about it! From Seth Rollins' fiery promo at the start of Monday Night RAW, to The Miz and Shane McMahon clashing on Smackdown Live, WWE didn't really deviate from their usual formula and it hurt them.

If nothing else, fans are waiting for the air of unpredictability to return to WWE, but the company still hasn't been able to deliver on that!

Of course, a lot of that has to with the network they air on and preserving talent for the long haul, but it wouldn't really kill WWE to try something outlandish to start their shows.

Something like a young star rampaging and going mad backstage or maybe attacking someone in the parking lot to prompt some kind of brawl. Just something to refresh the product a little bit from formulaic opening and get fans invested from the jump
