One major thing in WWE's uptick in view count has to be the fact that they have deviated from their usual norm and have embraced many different types of storytelling.

With that being said, between the nightmare-inducing Firefly Fun House segments and WWE not starting every show with a promo, it seems like the company is more willing to try new things.

Not only is that great for the short term, especially with fans already reacting positively to the changes, it also creates a situation where the company will continue to try new ideas in order to try to figure out what will stick.

If nothing else, it's a great time to be a wrestling fan since WWE is willing to try new things and the ratings prove that!
