It’s going well. There are all kinds of changes taking place in WWE and several of them have seen new ways of doing things after decades of one style. This includes both the way the product is presented on television along with a new way of presenting live events. Now that one of the changes is in place, we have an idea of how the wrestlers are reacting and it is going one way.

WWE has greatly reduced the amount of domestic non-televised live events this year, with only two scheduled before the holiday season begins. Instead, the company has been focusing on international events, including a tour of Europe later this year. According to Fightful Select, WWE is expected to mainly focus on international events, plus the annual holiday tour, which has been a success for the company in previous years. While wrestlers are not said to have been flat out told that the company will be running fewer non-televised live events, the roster has noticed and are “unanimously” behind the changes.

WWE has been doing the international thing rather well. Check out some of their efforts this year:

Opinion: This makes a lot of sense for WWE and it certainly seems to be working. While there is a benefit to the company to run events in smaller towns away from television, the financial aspect far outweighs it. Throw in the lack of wear and tear on the wrestlers themselves and this could be quite the benefit all over the place. The company and wrestlers are both happy so why not see how well it can go?
