Competition
With ECW and WCW defunct and bought out by WWE, the only other competitor in WWE’s main market of the United States is TNA Wrestling. Although TNA has a plethora of talent who have wrestled at various organisations, their show currently airs on Thursday nights in the US.
As a result, they technically don’t compete with WWE. The international presence WWE has in markets like the United Kingdom and Asia are unmatched by TNA, although they do have a decent following in the UK.

No competition means that WWE doesn’t have a real incentive to be the best it can be other than make more money. The launch of the WWE Network was messy, with delays in the United Kingdom and Ireland and lagging subscription numbers. There were many roster cuts and even cuts to pyrotechnic fireworks at shows and WrestleMania. However, once they got through it, the network launched in other countries including India.
Targeting markets by using a wrestler as the face of that country is what WWE did with Rey Mysterio in Mexico and Great Khali in India. As a result, competitors were left in the dust while WWE continued to bring in revenue. With no competing wrestling brand on the same day or time slot, it’s game over for the competition.
