Why WWE Is Rushing To Create Its Next Generation Of Main Event Stars

TLDR

WWE President Nick Khan revealed that company executives including Triple H and Shawn Michaels have spent the last year discussing how to accelerate the development of new stars as established performers like John Cena (on his retirement tour), CM Punk (46), and other stars over 40 move deeper into their careers. Khan said WWE has implemented a plan to get developing talent more live crowd exposure to measure genuine fan reactions, and cited Oba Femi as an example of their success, noting that Femi has only been on the main roster for 6 months but had one of the most talked-about matches against Brock Lesnar recently.
