Former WWE creative team member Freddie Prinze Jr. wrote the following on Twitter about the television content produced by WWE and AEW:
This is why cats like HHH doing interviews and Cody being on other TNT programming is so important. They help normalize the business because they just get it. They come off chill and solid. Hope they both continue to stay out in the public eye. It’s more important now than ever

You look at Neilson ratings for growth. Execs stopped that in the 90’s when they saw Arsenio Hall’s real numbers. It’s just marketing. Execs look for advertisers and they’re lined up for live tv. It’s a question of simple taste and most execs don’t enjoy it.
