5 of WWE's biggest blunders in 2017

#1 Budget cuts

It's all about the money.

For these mistakes and more, WWE must have run into a money problem this year as one of the major themes has been that they have looked to cut costs all over the place.

It's reasonable for a business to have this happen from time to time, but it's never, ever a good thing when you're forced to nix material for budget concerns rather than creative choices.

What's weirder is how WWE cut something like Bring it to the Table and Unfiltered only to set up a new show, Straight to the Source, which is effectively a toned down hybrid of the two that is much less interesting.

Talking Smack went from a highlight to watch after SmackDown and a place where people could showcase their personalities to a generic pay-per-view post-show that nobody in their right mind would bother sitting through as it's just as useless as the pre-show panel analysis.

With fewer pay-per-view events this year, it feels weird not to have a Raw event in December, and it seems like that trend will continue in 2018.

Then, there's the lack of signing the talent from the United Kingdom division and how the majority of the supremely talented women in the Mae Young Classic haven't been brought on board.

Mercedes Martinez, Toni Storm, Tessa Blanchard, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Santana Garrett and Jazzy Gabert should have been surefire signings, but nothing of the sort has happened, all most likely due to WWE not feeling like they have the proper funds to give them contracts.

WWE needs to figure out a way to increase their revenue to offset some of these problems in order for 2018 to not run into the same issues, all the meanwhile working on the creative team's flaws and trying to fix those, too.
