It's most likely because the last time they watched wrestling was back when it was known as WWF, so that's what they know it as.

Even wrestling fans were saying WWF sometimes when the change happened, but because we continued to watch the WWE after the name change and without us realising it, we slowly taught ourselves that the name "WWE" was correct and "WWF" was wrong.

So now, saying "WWE" feels right, whereas saying "WWF" feels wrong, unless we're referring to the past.
