I don't think it'd be a huge drop off by any means, but there would be some growing pains with a change in direction. You literally need the hypest fucking shows week after week after week to create any amount of buzz and boost in viewership. It'll take more than a month of really good storytelling. As much as WM14 and Tyson gave a jump start to the Attitude Era, it was only after a year and a half of a much better and more gritty product that set the foundation were they even ready for it.
Only after a while would you see an actual boost in the midst of dealing with your standard fluctuations. And I think Vince would look for any reason to bail on trying something new that he's not completely sold on. So if it's Roman Reigns at the top, with their standard shitty exposition-laden, over-produced storytelling and the ratings are steadily dropping, Vince will "let it ride" and "make excuses" because it's his guy and his style. But if the product is artistically better and less produced and you're dealing with the status-quo for any amount of time, no matter how short, Vince will bail because he's not interested and he doesn't like it.
