It Works: One Superstar Credited With NXT Spring Breakin Audience Boost (And It Might Surprise You)

She did it? WWE runs a lot of different television shows every week and that creates some issues. One of the biggest problems can be finding a way to make things interesting every time, as there are only so many ways to connect with the audience. A proven method is to give the fans something they want to see, which is now being credited with a certain show’s success.

This week’s edition of NXT was its Spring Breakin special, featuring two title matches. The show also featured a Spring Break theme, with advertisements including a Baywatch theme and featuring Tiffany Stratton. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, male viewership was up (Meltzer said he believed it was up 55% but he wasn’t sure) and the Stratton commercials were credited. At the same time, women’s viewership was about the same.

The show was packed. Check out some of what took place on the night:

Opinion: This isn’t hard to figure out as Stratton is an attractive woman who was presented in a revealing outfit as an advertisement for a show. That is hardly an original idea from WWE and it clearly worked well here. Hopefully WWE can find a way to keep its audience without relying on Stratton’s looks but for a one off, it was an easy idea to run with and it worked rather well.
