Despite all the big $$$ deals it's one of those situations that will become a bigger problem sooner rather than later if not corrected. I am wondering if WWE's new head honcho will have any ideas on developing a future base rather than trying not to lose more of the existing one, which seems to be the current situation.

At least in regards to AEW, they seem to slowly be growing and drawing in younger fans better than before but still too early to make any definitive claims.
Them recently picking up key demo wins over RAW and the slow shift towards Wednesday's as the potential new big night for wrestling could be the start of something major if the trend continues.
NXT might be a lost cause since they just keep getting older instead of younger despite being the type of show that should appeal more to younger wrestling fans compared to RAW and SD.
