Stephanie McMahon says WWE is still committed to presenting a family-friendly “PG” product, despite some recent edgy storylines
AEW has chosen to go with a TV-14 rating. Their rise has once again fueled the debate about whether or not WWE will break from their PG approach. During a recent interview with SportsKeeda, McMahon set the record straight.
WWE’s Chief Brand Officer was talking about the recent storyline between Lana and Rusev and she claimed that the company will remain PG, though there is room to push the envelope in some cases.
“Well, we’re still going to be PG, family friendly, but there is room to push the envelope in some cases,” she said. “In terms of the Lana-Bobby Lashley storyline, WWE is like a variety show. It is, at the end of the day, competition-based, but especially on RAW and SmackDown, you have more of those soap operatic storylines, and that’s why it’s been showcased on RAW.”
McMahon was also asked about NXT’s evolution into its own brand and which stars from the Black and Yellow brand she thinks can become the face of WWE in future. She named Keith Lee, Adam Cole and Rhea Ripley and also touted the stars from WWE’s NXT UK brand as well.
