5 Biggest Booking Problems Surrounding WWE Right Now

Despite being one of the greatest promotions in professional wrestling history, WWE is surrounded by serious issues coercing the company to make some genuine alterations.

Whether its the storytelling or the booking of certain superstars, the creative team is legitimately failing to exceed any sort of expectations of the WWE Universe.

Considering that the company continues to push Roman Reigns despite the backlash, legions of WWE fans have stopped watching the product; leading to serious downfall in the ratings and viewership.

There's a genuine belief within the organization to extend the company's growth which has certainly led to promoting more shows outside of their familiar territory, like the Greatest Royal Rumble and WWE Super Show-Down, to name a few.

While their financial stability could prove advantageous for them in the longer run, there are some serious concerns that could bring a massive change in the companies' ongoing workings.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 5 biggest problems surrounding WWE right now.

#1 Planning the most disappointing main event for a historical PPV

And we thought Roman Reigns was the problem

The inception of the entire women's revolution in the WWE was Triple H's brain-child, and the Game certainly did everything in his power to alter the company's whole concept.

While superstars like Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Lana, and Alexa Bliss are enjoying their success in the WWE, more agile competitors like Sasha Banks, Asuka, Bayley, and Ember Moon have been sidelined.

Considering that Sasha Banks and Bayley were one of the biggest reasons why the company diverted its entire concept and started booking feuds that were more female oriented.

However, Ronda Rousey's current feud with Nikki Bella has been one of the most disappointing acts on television produced by the company, lately.

Promoting the PPV as a First Time All-Women's event, WWE has been facing serious backlash from the fans that are not at all intrigued to watch this headlining act.

#2 NXT continuously outshining WWE on a weekly basis

Change is the law of the universe. There's never been a more realistic and practical quote to define WWE's current state of booking and in-ring approach to wrestling.

Triple H's ideology of bringing engaging content to the fans on a weekly basis has made them a loyal NXT fan; bringing more attention to his taped shows rather than live WWE television.

With Monday Night Raw only focusing on providing justice to the Shield, many superstars have lost their spot in the shuffle and are struggling to make it through.

The current main event scenario in the WWE is pretty disappointing and only goes on to get more predictable with the coming weeks.

There's no denying that Rey Mysterio's return or Dean Ambrose's heel turn might bring some significant alterations within the business; not pushing for some serious narrative might not assist WWE, at all.

#3 The biggest babyface for the company happens to be the biggest heel in the business

Roman Reigns has failed to exceed John Cena's standards

Whether you love him or hate him, John Cena carries a unique personality that transcends generations and makes him the most polarizing superstar the company will ever see.

While John Cena's part-time schedule has limited his WWE role, the Big Dog's ascension has not even reached the coronation point, as of yet.

Despite Vince McMahon and the WWE management pushing Roman Reigns as the headline act, the fans have vehemently criticized the company's mindset and hate his entire gimmick.

Considering that he happens to be the main focus on Monday Night Raw, his Shield counterparts have outshined him on multiple departments; leading the fans to cheer for them rather than the Big Dog.

With legions of WWE fans wanting Roman Reigns to turn heel, not listening to the WWE Universe has certainly diminished the Universal Champion's credibility on Monday Night Raw.

#4 Relying more on selling nostalgia rather than pushing the present

While WWE has been successful in extending their ties with international companies and promotions, the company has certainly failed to elevate their talent and nurture them to reach superstardom.

Events like WWE Greatest Royal Rumble and WWE Crown Jewel have proved how less influential the current stars are in selling an event outside their familiar territory.

Bringing legends like the Undertaker, Triple H, HBK, Trish Stratus, and Lita has brought more backlash from the fans, with more reliance on nostalgia acts.

If the same continues to happen on a weekly basis, stars who are scratching and clawing to make a name for themselves in the business will find their credibility diminished.

With WWE signing a lucrative deal with Saudi Arabia for almost ten years, there's no way that the company will consider losing their big stars over pushing the current talent, and that's the biggest problem.

#5 WWE's Crown Jewel event under serious jeopardy

With all that has been transpiring all over social media, a more significant news in the world of professional wrestling surrounds WWE's on-going event in Saudi Arabia.

After the unfortunate death of a journalist, legions of WWE fans have suggested the company to make some serious alterations in their schedule and cancel the event.

There's no denying that WWE has nothing to do with the incident, but social media's intervention has led many to coerce the promotion to drop the entire event.

While the WWE has commented upon the issue; stating that the company is still monitoring the situation, this could lead to serious financial concerns for Vince McMahon.

With all that the company invested in their narrative and the international ties with Saudi Arabia, cancelling the event entirely will bring the relationship under very serious jeopardy.
