Well, the show is about the Winchesters. Audience have certain preferences. Most of the audience watch the show because of Jensen, Jared and Misha. Removing them from episodes and replacing with Wayward will definitely drop the ratings. A certain group would rather watch Wayward instead of MotW but even without Wayward, they'd keep watching the show. Main characters and their acting skills are holding the show together. Not side characters and their storylines. I'd rather have Wayward instead of MotW because MotW became boring and repetitive. Discovering new things and storylines with Wayward would be better. However as I said, they should not change MotW episodes with Wayward but remove most of the MotW episodes and reduce the number of episodes per season to 13 or 10. That way show will become less boring and more thrilling plus writers will have more time to think and write better about episodes.
