10 Reasons WWE Feels UNDERWHELMING in 2026

10. Tickets Cost How Much Now?

It's true that everything is more expensive now (have you seen how much a Mars Bar costs? And how small the damn things are?) but the fact is that WWE and TKO's blatant greed has been indefensible for anyone who isn't a shareholder in the company. Hell, even the company's talent has put the bean counters on blast, as seen when Randy Orton tactfully pointed out that $5,000 for a lower bowl seat at WrestleMania is "So much f***ing money".

Randy said those words in 2025, but that didn't stop WWE try to gouge its audience for more, more, more as WrestleMania 42 charged $14,149.20 for ringside seats -  an almost $4000 increase from last year (via Athlon Sports). Brilliantly, WWE noted that purchasing these tickets also allowed you to keep the ringside chair - presumably so you had something to shield yourself with when your enraged partner found out how much you'd spent.

Sadly, this isn't even the most blatant example of WWE's desperation to turn a buck in recent times...
