WWE needs to capitalize off the Griselda wave!

[Breh Obama]

They finally have some prominent figures in hip hop/pop culture that are embracing and promoting wrestling (Wale dont count he always been a bytch).

They need to ride this wave and use it try and bring in more fans.

This could be a ticket for them to cross back over into pop culture

Wasn't that supposed to be the purpose of Bad Bunny? It's not many artist/celebrities out there with that type of star power who would even bother showing up on WWE TV. Let alone carrying the 24/7 title outside of WWE television in the way that he did. There's also the major point that he actually took his performance serious and put in the training and effort needed instead of just showing up for the paycheck unlike someone else who showed up last night.

Granted, I think the COVID-19 pandemic and concerts being put on hold led him to have more time to hone his craft.

Bad Bunny brought in eyes they normally wouldn't have got and still clocked record low Raws. The brand is what it is at this point. If they can move merch so be it. That's a plus.

They already HAD the Bad Bunny type crowd.

I'm talking about the urban cool community. Not weirdos

Westside Gunn has been posting flicks from ringside at WWE events and doing songs named after wrestlers for years.

MVP did a 'Hurt Business' remix for them.

If they were going to do it - They would have been done it.

Then you should edit your original post and refer specifically to the hip hop/urban cool community.

Griselda isn't that big. They're a niche group.
If it were Travis Scott, it would be a different story.

Griselda doesn’t bring in the audience you think it would.

Uzi, Carti, Travis, Drake, etc etc would bring in more eyes.

Weirdos?

I don't know who Griselda is but you don't know who's a wrestling fan that's "urban cool". There may be some out there that are fans but not as active about it. These celebrities may being eyes to the business but how much guarantee is it that those fans stick around after the celebrity leaves? And the issue with the record low Raws is partially due to the times we're living in. Back in the attitude era, you either watched it live, or had to miss out on talking about it at school the next day, or hope to catch the replay later on when it came on. These days you can catch a stream online during or after the show, or catch highlights on YouTube after as well. Plenty of times that I've been blessed with watchwrestling and other sites before that when I missed the original airing. There's no need to be turning to usa network on Monday nights with other options available. Even more so with more people continuously cutting the cord too.

Griselda is not gonna make WWE mainstream/pop culture ... it would benefit Griselda more, but I don't think they're trying to be mainstream or pop culture-ish.

I would like to see them, as legit wrestling enthusiasts get some kinda look tho', it would be cool considering all the wrestling-related shyt they've incorporated into their music.

Wrote about this a couple months ago on Cageside and the comment section all agreed.

Even if they only temporarily link up just to get Derringer to do some themes would be a good look
