WWE has been a factory of producing new superstars and took the best out of them in the bygone years. But there has been a recent drought in the pipeline as of late that is the biggest reason why the programming is going through low TV rating.

“For the longest time, if you considered WWE a band, there’s been one front person of the band. I think that dynamic is changing. It is because the audience is too diverse.
