I made about $2,500 last year doing this, and about $3,300 since I started doing it in October 2017. While it's nothing monumental, the extra money is helpful, and will be particularly so for guys just starting out and trying to find ways to make it.
The good thing here is that you're making some decent money by doing jack. No big research or intense labor required. You just need to be aware of a few things to maximize the system.

Some things to be aware of.
You'll get paid based on ad revenue, which can be hit or miss as you know. The good thing is this website is visited by millions of people a month so there's enough to go around. You just need to keep a few things in mind.
When you're doing this, the idea should be to make the enterprise as effortless and quick as possible. Sometimes, writing takes more time than you'd think. As a target, you shouldn't spend more than 20 minutes on a post.
Sometimes longer posts can pay off, because sometimes your articles can get significant money (the highest one I ever did made me over $100 for just that one piece). Sometimes they can be duds though. You need to be aware of the content that trends to give yourself the best chance.
It won't take much to get you at least $100, and more likely $200 or more a month fairly easily. You just need to make sure you're not spending too much time on this.
You don't even need to watch the WWE shows either (God knows many of them are awful - this content is very much hit or miss). All you need to do is keep up with results. You can watch the good stuff and skip the rest and just bullshit your way about the bad stuff.
Seasons
This is content that usually gets seasonal attention. Right now is the best time to make the most money because they're building up to WrestleMania. January-April is the hottest time. July, August, and November are also good months because they have major shows. December can also get you a lot because even though it's a down month, you can do end of year compilations that usually trend well. Focus the bulk of your effort into those months. By that I mean, you're likely to get paid more for the time.
What to write about
WWE's weekly shows are Raw on Monday, SmackDown on Tuesday (it will move to Friday this October), and NXT on Wednesday. While NXT is far and away the best show, it's also the least watched because it's "developmental" for them and isn't on TV. SmackDown is usually a good show these days if you want to actually watch while Raw is awful. Nevertheless, you can just keep up with the results as I said.
On Tuesday, you can write about the Raw results and expect your posts to trend a bit.
On Wednesday you can do the same for what happened on SmackDown (that day will be Saturday later this year).
Forget writing about NXT results for the most part. It doesn't trend enough. Even the TakeOver specials, which are usually excellent, don't get the attention they should. This is all about getting bulk traffic.
There are monthly pay per views as well. These are the articles which usually do the best. You can write about what should happen, predict what's going to happen, or talk about what has happened on the pay per view and expect your articles to do decently well (IE: make above $20 per post - a few of these and you'll see how the money adds up). With WrestleMania approaching, this is the best time to talk about a pay per view.
In addition to show results, you can make list articles which usually do well. Top 10 lists or ranking articles in general usually attract attention, and this can be about anything - records, matches, shocking moments, moves, smart or dumb booking decisions, etc. Get innovative. With WrestleMania around the corner, there's a lot to talk about.
Prediction articles also do well in general. Predict results, title changes, or what have you. Most of my best articles ever (where sums of $30, $50, or more from a single article) were prediction articles.
Make sure you do slide shows for the most part. Those do better than single page articles.
Again, it's nothing world shattering, but it's a good side income especially if you're just starting to think of ways to make money, and this money can help in daily life. For example, I've often used this money to pay for dates so I'm not dipping into my primary income and spending it on girls.
