• Update On WrestleMania 35 Main Event & WWE’s New Marketing Strategy
According to DirtySheets.Net, WWE officials will be promoting the “Women’s Revolution” agenda, whether it’s organic or not. This agenda includes WWE finally having a Women’s match main event a WrestleMania event.
Current plan is for Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women’s Championship to main event WrestleMania 35 next year.
Another interesting thing that should be noted here is that WWE told its production team members to go into the crowd and chant “This is hope!” during the first ever WWE Women’s match at a WWE Live Event in Abu Dhabi last year. WWE then promoted this incident on their programming and Media Outlets.
Dirty Sheets’ source issued the following statement regarding WWE’s newest marketing strategy:
“This is the direction, whether people want it or not, whether it’s organic or not. It’s an easy way to get them mainstream exposure and it’s a way to hit a new fanbase they haven’t exploited before. The WWE have never targeted girls aged 5-14. That is the goal here.”
