For WWE (and its investors, which is part of the problem), a slow, plodding road to the same general stuff they've always done is a nice cocoon from the harsh realities that they may screw it up and their television contract renewal is in better hands at a predictable low ebb than the fluctuating potential for worse, even if the upside is way higher.

Time is not on President Donald Trump's side if he still hopes to put a stop to North Korea's nuclear weapons ambitions after the collapse of his summit with Kim Jong Un.
