NBC/Universal Issues Statement About Declining WWE Ratings

Following an article by the The New York Post looking at WWE’s ratings decline titled “Is WWE down for the count?,” WWE’s broadcasting partner has issued a statement in defense of the company. A rep for NBC/Universal issued the following statement to the outlet:

“WWE programming delivers one of the most massive live audiences in cable on a weekly basis and is consistently a top performer for our networks.”

It’s worth noting that the Post article did state that despite the fact that ratings are down, WWE’s stock is up 41% year-to-year.
