10 Wrestling Worst Nightmares Right Now

10. Peacock Retools The WWE Network

Industry outsiders couldn't see the negatives about the WWE Network's face-melting move to Peacock. It was yet more money for the company, a cheaper service for fans in general, and lots more of what we all already like.

Spoken like people that haven't watched Raw since the company's last billion dollar deal.

WWE's creative will surely devolve further now that it's been objectively proven as money-spinning like never before. And with the Network itself out of Vince McMahon's hands, just who's to say there will be more of what we already like?

Peacock could view minuscule numbers against your favourite NWA card as a reason to obliterate the entire section from the archives. Events could be shortened or cut to save bandwidth. The whole thing could be reimagined to only focus on new content, leaving those that want the amazing full service paying substantially more than the vaunted $9.99 for the privilege.

The Network in its original form was a strange but beautiful beast. The super-service model always felt like a ticking time bomb. NBC taking the controls from WWE may result in a much speedier detonation.
