I'm sure I've read that somewhere. The numbers I can find from a few years ago says 8-10%, and I was under the belief the WWE was going down more than that on a yearly basis. But I just checked and apparently WWE is only losing 5%, but that was in millions of viewers, which is a mixed metric.

They dropped 10.5% for 2015's average versus 2014 and 14.4% for 2016. I'm not sure what the average rating was for 2017. Ratings seem to be hold steady for 2018 though, even though viewership is dropping.

So it's not appreciably outside the realms of the death of television, I guess. If they were going down faster than TV in general, they seem to have stopped falling so fast. And I do think television is catching up, generally speaking.
