1) Get A Bit ‘Edgier’ With Their Content
The easiest way for WWE to appeal to the teenage demographic is to get a bit ‘edgier’ with their content.
I am not talking about bra and panties matches or anything close to that. I am more saying that WWE needs to do more things like what we saw recently on RAW and Smackdown. Things like Corey Graves saying “Holy Shit” after a wild RAW segment that felt unscripted or Kofi Kingston giving Samoa Joe the middle finger.
Small moments like these make us feel like we aren’t watching a ‘PG’ product. I get that WWE makes a bunch of money from being family-friendly but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a few of these moments that turn the volume up a little bit.
If WWE gets a bit edgier, I think that it could help drive interest from the teenage demographic. Make the show ‘cool’ to watch again, which feels like it hasn’t been in many years.
How would you appeal to the teenage demographic? Let me know in the comment section below.
