10 Times WWE Got Its Ass Kicked
3. The Global Situation Of 2020
WWE has yet to actually explain why each and every show that takes place right now is doing so in an empty arena setting and with minimal talent and crew present. As per WWE, this is all due to the "global situation" that we're in at present.
Regardless of WWE's lack of any real acknowledgement of what's going on across the planet, said global situation has most definitely been kicking WWE's ass hard.
Whether it's all-time low TV ratings, a WrestleMania that was forced to take place over two days, losing prized top star Roman Reigns, being hit in the pocket by zero ticket sales and reduced merchandise numbers, the fact that WWE is having to work with a vastly reduced roster, or how higher-ups are desperately cashing in mass numbers of stock, it's impossible to say that it's not been a rough few months for Vince McMahon and his sports entertainment juggernaut.
With no end in sight for the ongoing "global situation", things are only going to continue to get worse for WWE until some sense of semi-normalcy can be attained on a national and international scale.
