WWE has 9 divisions and 18 subsidiaries, and is benefiting from the huge stock market surge also. They are making record money for them, but keep in mind the massive amounts of product they put out too.

Wrestling itself for WWE has had record low ratings and lagging attendance in the United States. It doesn’t hurt them financially due to their business as a whole. But because their subsidiaries make up a ton of money too, it doesn’t mean they’re doing something right in their major project. In the US, they are doing much worse than they would like to be.

They definitely don't need Lesnar in the title scene at mania. You can totally keep him away from the universal title. Roman vs Seth is a strong fued.

The thing is that they may make more money than ever

But they're are still losing viewership. If they weren't they would not need to address that.

If the Viewership keeps dropping then eventually the money will stop rising and it will drop a somewhat.
They aren’t losing viewership? They did with raw when everyone was shelved for the most part. Other than that, they’re worth more than ever right now.

And, they’re always worried about viewership. It’s their job. They want it higher and depending on the season, they may see some drops. It happens every year.

Show me articles where their viewership is trash?

The whole "viewership" arguememt is a bust. Espeically if you are talking about cable television. Raw is still one of the highest rated shows every week. They might not have 5 million viewers like they did in the 90s, but look at WWE's YouTube channel. They have 41 million subscribers and are in the top 10 YouTube channels.
