Hate to break it to you, but there's no active wrestler who is going to change the ratings nowadays. The era of casual fans in regards to the fandom of the 90s is long gone. The only person who was previously involved with wrestling that could do that is The Rock.
AJ came in when people thought NO ONE would know who he is, and got a huge pop at the rumble, would go on to be a fan favorite, and top 5 merch seller in short time.
So, while nothing is gonna improve ratings, they would make alot of money with these guys.
And you’re just proving my point how play fighting is at an all time low
If I dare quote myself, “the marks are now in the ring”, and now they are all that is left with the wrasslin business audience, 8 million a week to the current 2-3 million niche mark audience that is left
