Stephanie McMahon on the company's future in the metaverse
Technology has become one of the major components that has been impacted by evolution. A recent example of this was the introduction of the metaverse.
According to Daniel Marsuon from Techopedia, metaverse is defined as a computer generated world where players can interact with each other. Or, simply say it as virtual reality.
Stephanie McMahon had then spoken about the possibility of them entering this particular advancement, stating that they will continue to re-evaluate and look into it.
"We also continue to evaluate the metaverse, both walled garden environments that already exist as well as decentralized properties. Look to hear more in the coming months. Gaming is a priority for WWE to reach our next gen audience with over 80% of WWE's audience self-identifying as gamers and nearly 60% of the gaming audience in general being 34 years or younger,"
