10 Things WWE must do to defeat the challenge of All Elite Wrestling

WWE hasn't had serious competition in the North American pro wrestling market since the fall of WCW.

#9 Put on free PPV quality shows on network television

From 1985 until 1992, NBC aired the WWE program Saturday Night's Main Event.

In order to remain on top of the pro wrestling industry, WWE must not just retain its current fans, to keep them from watching another show. They must also try and gain new fans who haven't watched pro wrestling much or at all.

There is a great way to do this, and WWE has used this method in the past. By putting on high quality PPV level shows on free television, they can help grow their fan base while keeping current fans satisfied. The WWE did this already in the 1980s and early 1990s with their Saturday Night's Main Event, which was a once a month replacement for NBC's Saturday Night Live.

The NWA also used this technique when they put on the first ever Clash of the Champions on TBS. The high quality card, headlined by Ric Flair vs. a very young Sting, is credited for creating a lot of new fans for the NWA promotion.

WWE could take this step if they want to remain on top of the industry.
