Google search trends for WWE are starting to rise up in a positive note!

The boss is leading it's company from the front.

WWE had it’s golden days back in 1990s to early 2000s as they’ve been termed as company’s best period by far means. There used to be no internet or social media back then that one could use it as a measure to view how the company is doing in terms of attaining a fanbase that would indicate the hotness of the product.

Since there was no online streaming platform those days, WWE used to a humongous amount of live Television viewership for their shows. The highest rated episode in the history of Monday Night Raw came on May 10, 1999 with a massive 8.1 rating.

Then, what’s the highest rated WWE segment ever? Well, it’s again from the year 1999. Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Undertaker for the WWF championship on June 28,1999. This match received an astonishing figure of 9.5 rating (which was translated into 10.72 million viewers) for this particular match. With this massive feat, this became the highest viewed segment in the history of professional wrestling till date.

Despite losing it’s audience, WWE is doing exceptional work from the business standpoint.

While the professional wrestling world has been mordernised a lot in recent years after the introduction of internet, the TV ratings have continued to fall year after year. With the introduction of Google search engine, one can easily gather all information about anything he/she plugs in to grab. WWE search trends have also been on the decline since April 2017.

Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics recently gave an insight on the WWE search trends around the globe. The chart comparison suggest that WWE searches worldwide peaked during October’16 and January’17., and they’ve been on a constant steady decline ever since then with the lowest points getting touched in recent 2-3 years. One of the main reasons of this decline can be WWE’s lackluster current product which leaves fans disinterested for the upcoming shows. The other valid reason that comes into our mind is the global Covid-19 pandemic. WWE lost almost a million of their regular TV viewers during this pandemic with the pre-taped and no audience weekly shows being the frontrunner factors for this loss.

With lack of interest in the product, internet searches regarding that show automatically crash down. WWE is about to complete their 1 year since the live crowds returned to the arenas. Since then, there have been some great shows being held upon, one can also argue on the thing that WWE shows felt real stale during the pandemic era because they didn’t wanted to do bigger stuff in the absence of people in the arenas.

With WWE slowly getting back into their grooves, fans have also started to show their interest back towards the live shows in form of live venue attendance numbers and social media response, although the TV viewership figures haven’t been that great, actually they aren’t in recent years. But the recent worldwide search trends show some positive signs for them. The latest data from Thurston shows that WWE search trends have shown signs of recovery as the numbers have started to rise in recent months.

WWE has recently switched to doing more stadium shows in the coming time frame

WWE have generated some record profits with these stadium shows.

Viewing upon the massive success of recent stadium shows, WWE has decided to increase their frequency according to a recent report from Andrew Zarian. They have received an overwhelming response for these huge stadium shows lately, so capitalising on the advantage is the best thing to do.

For this year, WWE already has several stadium shows lined-up to happen. MITB takes place July 2nd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, then we have Summerslam on July 30th at the Nissan Stadium In Nashville and after that the major United Kingdom Premium-live-event ‘The Clash at the Castle’ at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. A rumoured Saudi Arabia show is also slated to happen in October of this year.

Brock Lesnar is advertised for both MITB and Summerslam.
