I believe viewership would be increased if it wasn’t so dominated and segregated by pay per view. If I pay for espn+ I can watch a few Big 12 matches, with commercials. But there are a lot of BIG10, PAC12, ACC, matches that I can’t watch live, but some time later I may find a replay. At the same time that a 1 vs 2 wrestling dual is on a pay per view that I can’t get, espnu is showing a division 2 women’s basketball game that has mostly a regional interest. If you want more people to watch then make it easier for more people to watch, only to find that the premier matchup isn’t going to occur because one, or both, of the wrestlers don’t wrestle.
