Drew McIntyre Responds To Fans Blaming Him For WWE’s Declining Ratings

A few months ago WWE moved all of their TV tapings to the Performance Center in Orlando due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s no big secret that Raw’s ratings have been on the decline as of late.

Some people have criticized Drew McIntyre on social media, and during a recent interview with TV Insider he was asked about Raw’s declining ratings.

The current WWE Champion noted that the ratings don’t bring him down, and that you probably shouldn’t expect to see him lash out on social media.

“It doesn’t bring me down. I’ve been through so much. The ups and downs in my career. Some really low points. I don’t let it get to me or distract me from the goal at home. I know a lot of previous champions have let it get to them. They’ve suffered in their personal life as a result and lashed out on social media. I don’t allow it to get to me from that standpoint. Our WWE Universe, our audience is such a big part of the show. We’re all just giving it all we can. I know we’re learning through this period.

The audience that has stuck around are getting to learn about the characters on a deeper level. I think because of this when we get back into the arenas, the viewership will grow. I think we will reach new heights to be honest because we’re going to have so many compelling characters. A lot of superstars are maximizing their opportunity in this environment. Right now you can really develop your character on a deeper level through this unique lens. I think when we do get back in the arenas they will attract the attention of fans. I hear what is going on. I see what’s going on social media. Things are gong well there, but they can also be better. Once we get back to normal, I think we’ll reach new heights as a company.”
