Industry expert Dave Meltzer recently reported that WWE has been experiencing remarkable viewership numbers over the past few months. According to Meltzer, the promotion's popularity is on the rise, with the anticipation that the numbers will continue to soar in the upcoming weeks.
"I think what's happened is the company's so hot they really do have… they're just not gonna go below (a certain number). Because this is about as low as you're gonna get (1.419 million viewers for #WWERaw this week), and obviously next week there's no football, so they'll be way up. But I think that they have a core (audience)… they can't do badly," commented Dave Meltzer on WWE's current status.
