10 Reasons To Be Nervous For WWE In 2016

5. WWE Are Running Out Of Money-Drawing Names

One of the biggest problems World Wrestling Entertainment currently face is readying themselves for the future. That's exactly why there's been such focus on the WWE Performance Center and NXT as viable growth systems for the stars of the coming years. Further to this, there's a problem of taking natural talent to the next level, genuinely making them top-level draws. Seth Rollins is a key example of this. The man has all the talent in the world, and potential to grow as a performer on the microphone. Sadly, he doesn't really spike ratings the way WWE would want him to. Traditionally, the WWE Champion is the man responsible for carrying the burden of business in the company, but that tag doesn't really fit Rollins. He's important, no doubt, but the TV/Pay-Per-View numbers are unlikely to rise or fall drastically whether he appears or not. This goes against WWE's own system. It's not entirely Seth's fault, he just isn't portrayed on the level of The Undertaker or Brock Lesnar. Those men will be analysed in later entries, making WWE's situation even worse. Now more than ever, the promotion have to start really pushing that guys like Rollins aren't "The Future", they're big stars now.
