WWE is all set to undergo a massive change in terms of its appeal to the audience. The CCO of the company, Triple H, has been claiming it to be a new era in the company. With the new change, there has also been an emphasis on how the company is being looked at. In the upcoming days, WWE is set to be called 'Pro Wrestling' again.
Under Vince McMahon, a lot of things were followed. Be it the protocols, the standards, and the rules of the company, everything had restrictions. In 1997, WWE was termed as 'Sports Entertainment' and has remained so. But the latest reports claim that WWE is going to be regarded as 'Professional Wrestling' again. There were some hints provided in the recent events.
After Cody Rhodes won the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Michael Cole stated that he loves 'Professional Wrestling' on air. Fans are happy with the fact that WWE is moving back to the times when there were fewer restrictions. Due to the lawsuit allegations earlier this year, Vince resigned from the creative team, which might have led to a lot of changes in recent weeks.
Short stages to occupy more audience
WWE has witnessed massive turnouts in the last few weeks. Both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown witnessed its largest gate in history. Likewise, NXT Stand and Deliver witnessed the sale of the highest number of tickets for an NXT event. WrestleMania XL weekend was watched by over 2 lakh people in the arena. There is a visible demand for the episodes.
In order to provide the audience with as many seats as possible to watch the episodes, WWE is set to take a new initiative. As per the sources, the old-school method of deploying short entrance stages might be the new norm, which could lead to better occupancy in the arena. It is good in terms of business perspective. If what reports claim are to be believed. there might be steady growth in the business of the Stanford-based company.
