8. Con: Competing For Air-Time

Like I said before, WWE's roster is absolutely stacked... and that's really problematic with the programming WWE has.

Ignoring secondary shows like Main Event, the average week of WWE programming (including commercials) is three hours of RAW, two hours of SmackDown, one hour of NXT, and an hour of 205 Live. With the decision to come to WWE, each of the five BCE members would have to compete with a huge slew of other performers for airtime in a tightly scripted and formatted environment.

The benefit of working outside of WWE is that your exposure is controlled by you. The people at large are only exposed to you by how active you are on social media, or how often you show up on non-WWE TV programming (which, in wrestling, isn't nearly as ubiquitous). For the Elite, their main source of exposure to western audiences has been Being The Elite, their self-created documentary/mockumentary/sitcom/whatever released weekly on YouTube. For that show, The Young Bucks decide how long each episode is, how much time each character (including their own friends) gets, and how everyone is portrayed. They are truly masters of their domain and their characters.

Should BCE go to WWE, all of that would have to be given up.
