Over the past week, several mainstream media outlets have been reporting on the sharp decline in WWE RAW viewership, including Fox News and the New York Post.
A rep from NBCUniversal issued a brief statement to the New York Post about the situation, showing support for the company they are paying so much to for original content:
“WWE programming delivers one of the most massive live audiences in cable on a weekly basis and is consistently a top performer for our networks,”
The Post article notes that some cannibalization of RAW’s viewership by the WWE Network was expected and WWE stock is up 40% this year.
