Might make a small argument that the final episode of WCW Nitro could be an earlier jumping the shark moment for the WWE.

What should have been the ushering of a new era ended up being just another McMahon family feud that evolved into the Invasion storyline and Austin's betrayal of the WWE. Austin turning heel being due to the Vince-Austin feud having no real reason to continue once the threat of WCW was gone.

Ratings-wise, WWE lost around a third to half of what it had during the Attitude Era within that short period of time and never got it back.
