WWE is looking to put the spotlight on younger talent going forward.
That spotlight has been put on talent such as United States Champion Austin Theory, SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE’s focus on the younger performers is intentional.
“There is a big internal focus right now to get younger aged talent on Raw and Smackdown right now,” Meltzer wrote.
