WWE after part timers retire

By Scott Keith on 31 May 2018

Hi Scott,

This is a very open question in case you'd like to ruminate, but where do you see WWE after part-timers like HHH, Lesnar, Cena, Undertaker, etc. hang it up for good?

WWE's year revolves largely around WM as its focal point. And since WM 29 or so, WWE relies on part-timers to sell the show. This year, we had HHH, Shane, Lesnar, Angle, Rousey, Cena and Taker.

What do you see happening once these guys are done for good. Can WWE continue to draw just with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, etc.? Will it influence anything?

Thanks.

It's a completely moot point because they have successfully built a business model where WWE and the Wrestlemania name are the “draw” and the stars don't matter. For the next five years, they can stop doing arena shows completely and sell zero merchandise and still be insanely profitable. So yeah, they'll be fine.
