8 Drastic Short-Term Solutions To Solve WWE's Ratings Woes

3. Bring Up More Talent From NXT

Not including Main Event and Superstars (because who the hell is wasting their time watching those?), WWE puts out five hours of programming a week with Raw and SmackDown. However, during each and every one of those weeks, one hour of NXT is vastly superior to all of that, and you have to believe that many fans are getting their wrestling fix solely on a Wednesday evening as a result. Even as someone who won't skip the most awful of Raw matches on the odd occasion I've missed the show live, I could quite happily just watch NXT moving forward if the flagship show suddenly vanished from the UK for whatever reason! If viewers really have ditched Raw in preference of NXT, that's obviously a problem for WWE, and they need to do something to get them back. One drastic move which would quite possibly hurt NXT in the short term but could make all the difference in the world to the weekly programme the company relies on to keep the light on would be to bring up a huge number of NXT Superstars all at the same time. Monday Night Raw should be three hours of the greatest wrestlers in the world tearing shit up, not King Barrett having what feels like his 10,000th encounter with Neville in the past six months and three or four minute squash matches used to kill time between commercial breaks. That's wrestling for the sake of wrestling, and more importantly than that, it's about as much fun as watching paint dry. Just imagine Finn Balor and Somoa Joe delivering A+ matches against guys like Seth Rollins and John Cena or Jason Jordan & Chad Gable and The Vaudevillains injecting new life into a tag team division which for some reason can only focus on two teams at a time. Just like the idea of some fresh new match ups mentioned earlier in this feature, bringing a dozen new Superstars up from NXT would dramatically alter the status quo of Raw and would force the current main roster Superstars who have grown complacent to pull their fingers out and start pulling every trick out of their sleeves to stay relevant and deliver the goods. It would also bring back viewers who have given up on the flagship show and draw the interest of new ones if handled and promoted the right way...
