I can't remember if I've said this in this thread or not, but over here there are ordered shows that are one hour versions of both Raw and SmackDown. The funny things about that are that there is obviously demand for way more succinct WWE programming, but there is also demand for it. People have to edit and export those shows. That's the future of WWE programming.
When cable dries up even more, they are going to be valuable to streaming services. And cable will probably cut down on the ordered hours of programming before they outright cancel WWE. WWE have those hour versions produced, so should the bubble start to shrink, they can put on those hour shows and put on full length broadcasting on the WWE Network for those who eat it up. But they're obviously going to try and get their full shows over as much as possible.
The "sky is falling" mentality for WWE, even if you hate that company, is probably never going to amount to anything other than billions of dollars for WWE. Whereas the shrugging and excuses making for AEW is probably going to cost them a lot more a lot sooner.
