I think eventually WWE can catch back up to UFC. I think UFC is oversaturating their audience (just like WWE is with a dozen PPVs) and ultimately WWE can control the outcome of their matches when UFC can't, which, although surprises are always good, is a huge advantage as far as promotion goes.
On the flip side, MMA is essentially stealing an entire generation of talent from pro wrestling, which could be a killer long term. Then again, training in MMA doesn't necessarily preclude one from training in pro wrestling down the line.
