WWE’s dismal performance in 2020 has led to negative reactions across the board and the situation could lead to drastic steps. This is a wake up call for the company and according to the report above, the WWE could see a ‘big reset’ from Royal Rumble onwards.

The road to Wrestlemania begins at the first pay per view of the new year and apparently so will the WWE’s climb to normalcy or perhaps even more. They will have their work cut out however, and it will not be an easy task at all.

The WWE introduced RAW Underground and Retribution to deal with the falling ratings and everyone knows how that turned out. Hopefully, the next thing the WWE comes out will be an improvement on them.
