5 signs WWE is trying to get former fans to watch the product again

#3 Rehashing old gimmicks

The Miz and John Morrison is only one example of WWE capitalizing on nostalgia.

What's with WWE rehashing old gimmicks?

Seriously though, between Daniel Bryan going back to his 2010's self, The Miz and John Morrison as Tag Team champions again and the return of Edge, this is starting to create a lot of flashback moments. It has also started to make a lot of fans wonder why they are seeing some of their favorite characters redone again.

Think about it! WWE even has Randy Orton at the level of heel heat he had when he was The Legend killer and that is quite an accomplishment. If nothing else, this is becoming a reoccurring trope in today's WWE and is very indicative of the company trying to recreate a lot of nostalgia from the past.

Whether it works or not remains to be seen and will depend on whether older fans even want to come back to WWE, but you really can't blame the company for trying. Beyond that, it's not like the company is creating uninteresting content and fans should just enjoy the blast from the past that they are experiencing right now.
