Cena was one of the best ever in WWE history when it came to live events and merch sales numbers but also one of the weakest ever top stars in terms of his core fanbase not becoming a new foundation for WWE's future. WWE's shitty booking habits they developed during his era did a ton of damage towards that. Everything post start of PG Era just added to that problem instead of being a separate main cause.
Wrestlenomics' Brandon Thurston did a report on this a couple years ago and discovered the main issue was a big gap had developed within Cena's young TV viewer fanbase. Cena had a very strong pool of young TV viewers but then start leaving en mass after just a couple of years and were not returning in sizable numbers down the line, meaning they very likely stopped being wrestling fans all together.

Jesus Christ, you do not fucking listen. You just go back to the same robotic points, regardless of whether or not they are reasonable. There is mixed truth in this, which all comes together as a false assessment with conviction behind it.
That is not the correct use of the word "literally." The WWE has a chance to make new fans every week. Cena hasn't been a full-time guy since 2015.
The rest of your post is just irrelevant gibberish and internet talking points and is just going to make me repeat that there are a myriad of factors that have affected the WWE -- which, by the way, is super fucking profitable right now. That's the future Vince McMahon was building to, and it was a success, love or hate the guy.
But you can't stay on topic and just have to keep hitting the same bullshit like it's a fact. There's a big difference between saying that Cena's kids left (no shit) and that Cena's kids leaving has been an "utter failure" to create a core audience. The fuck?
A big part of the move to PG and Cena in general was to make the WWE a big friendly Muppet of a promotion to encourage advertisers and sponsors -- which worked extremely well. Vince McMahon sees your "utter failure" and wipes his big, cummy profit dick all over it.
