Why The #WWENetwork Was Doomed To Fail In The US

$9.99 a month seems like a dream price for access to the WWE's entire wrestling library, right?  I mean DAYS worth of content from the territories, from WCW, ECW, and the various eras.  Pay-Per-View no longer an overpriced nicety but a cost effective avenue to get your fix.  Yet, WWE failed to even scratch the surface of American viewership.  Why?  It's easy...the price doesn't make sense.

#WWE Doesn't Understand How To Rehash Storylines Properly.

 I really don't know what's going through the minds over in Connecticut.  It's like they want to rehash stories from old times but just don't do it right for some reason.  I don't get why they do things this way.

On RAW, The Authority vs. Bella storyline was advanced in anticipation of the rather doomed match between Stephanie and Brie Bella at SummerSlam.  While I'm never a fan of having a PPV match between two Divas who arguably aren't that good in the ring, it's at least putting Divas in the front and center of attention again.  There will be two Diva matches, which we haven't seen in many years if my memory serves me.

My problem hinges around the storyline itself.  I get what they're doing at a basic level, I just don't know why, because they're missing a much larger payoff - and possibly more satisfied long term fans.  The key?  John Cena.

Kayfabe Conspiracy: Is Nikki Bella Sister Abigail...?

Recently, John Cena experienced an injury during an attack by the Wyatt Family.  The commentators positioned that Cena's knee was hyperextended, later a photo was shared that seemed to show Cena's knee cap being completely dislocated, apparently validating the knee injury.  However, Cena would later go on to claim it was a groin injury.

For those that don't remember the song, the knee bone is NOT connected to the groin muscle.  At least, not unless you're African American.  But I digress.

A groin injury can happen a number of ways: muscle gets pulled inappropriately, strain during workouts, etc.  But we don't know it's a valid injury; let's go with it for now.  So assuming it's a groin pull, sex is yet another way it can happen.  Given the feud with the Wyatts, is it possible...remotely...that the writers might end up positioning Nikki as Sister Abigail?
