WWE's biggest problem was the Cena Era never really provided them a stable viewer base for the future.

Cena was great at bringing in the kids market especially with the shift to PG but only for live shows and not tv viewing in general. Sort of like the Pokemon Effect where kids love Cena and WWE but after a few years, grow out of it and leave. Unlike the Pokemon Effect, those same people don't return when they are older.

Younger people skewing more towards Youtube and mobile stuff is probably also related to how terrible WWE is for consistency so its a lot easier to digest short clips or Hulu than sit and watch 3 hour RAWs every week.

You can pretty much say that about every era. People grew out of the Hogan era like they did the Attitude era

True but with the Cena era those problems got worse the longer it went.

At least with Hogan's core, they didn't stop watching wrestling or being fans en masse so WWE always had a large pool of viewers to gain back. Also while the New Gen was pretty bad overall, it did help supply the new core and stars for the Attitude Era.

I'd argue Vince pretty much wrecked the WWE in the long run with how poorly stuff was handled post-Invasion and focusing everything solely on Cena at the cost of everything else. Left the WWE on shakier ground to transition Cena's core or build a new core for the next era than the New Gen era did.
