Stephanie McMahon revealed Bray Wyatt's return brought a significant boost in the audience
According to co-CEO Stephanie McMahon, the return of Bray Wyatt's storyline has resulted in a 20% increase in the audience.
The WWE Universe was kept in suspense when one of the enigmatic "White Rabbit" QR codes led to a series of numbers that could have been interpreted as a date or a time code: "0923."
McMahon said at the Wells Fargo 2022 TMT Summit that the next episode of WWE SmackDown saw a 20% increase in viewership around 9:23 p.m.
"We were bringing back one of our biggest stars named Bray Wyatt. We used a multimedia approach and hired a horror writer to come in and really help us craft this narrative, so our fans were engaged. It's strategies like that that really do work. The audience today is different," McMahon said. [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]
Bray Wyatt returned to Extreme Rules in October after weeks of build-up on television and online. WWE's creative decision of "White Rabbit" teases captivated wrestling fans, which was made possible by Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
