In a recent interview with “Full Press Wrestling,” WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque discussed WWE’s efforts to provide wrestling content that appeals to various age groups and how challenging it is to cater to such a diverse audience.
Triple H said, “The tricky part about what we do is you’ve got to have something for the 60 year old, you’ve gotta have something for the 40 year old, you’ve gotta have something for the 30 [year old], 20 [year old], and you gotta have something for the 10 and 6 year old. You’ve gotta have a little bit of something for everybody. The characters, the storylines. You never want to age yourself out, you don’t want to shoot yourself [in the foot by being] too kiddy because even the kids won’t like it then right, they don’t want somebody pandering to them. You’ve got to have something that crosses everything and it’s the trick of what we do, a little something for everyone.”

In a recent appearance on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, Dabba-Kato discussed his departure from WWE last year.
Kato was part of the NXT brand. His final match took place on September 5, 2023, and he lost to Tyler Bate.
He said, “I think I kind of sensed it. My contract was coming to an end anyway. We already had conversations long before it was close to that. Now, we came pretty close, I started pushing stuff and I could feel there was nothing great planned for me. You get that feeling and I had that feeling the day was going to come. I lived through so many cuts. It happened to so many guys before me. You can prepare yourself a little bit for it. You can prepare yourself financially and mentally, which I didn’t think would be as hard as it was.”
