10 Ways The WWE Network Has Changed Since It Launched

5. The Reality TV Push

Finding out what customers want to watch on the Network has been one of WWE's biggest challenges over the past four years. When it became clear that simply offering monthly pay-per-views for a (much) lower price point than before and granting access to every major supershow in history wasn't enough, WWE began to experiment with reality TV.

Original shows were always in the pipe line. Earlier ones, such as the Monday Night Wars series, were shot in a documentary style however; WWE have come back to this format by producing excellent programming like WWE 24 and the 365 special on Kevin Owens.

In between, they've focused on light-hearted content like Swerved (inspired by MTV's Punk'd), Ride Along and even cartoons like Camp WWE or Story Time. That push for reality in Swerved, Table For 3 and Ride Along has subsided a little over the past year.

We can't imagine why Dolph Ziggler forcing laughter after being pranked by The Boogeyman didn't catch on.
