This appears to be very good news for the company and for the start of the Triple H era of creative in the company.
The Summer is usually the time of year that the company starts to struggle with ratings and viewership, but they’re doing extremely well right now.
Hopefully, the company can keep this momentum up heading into the Clash at the Castle event and the WWE Draft in the middle of September.
