While speaking at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, Stephanie McMahon talked about fans and how they can influence the matches that are booked for upcoming WrestleMania events.

“Our audience tells us what they love, what they don’t like and worse, what they don’t care about. And you have to be listening, and in WWE, yes, we do, we pivot on the fly. It’s an advantage that we’re live. We do set our storylines out a year in advance, WrestleMania being our Super Bowl and then we program backwards, but things happen. The audience might not be invested in a character that we think they will be invested in for whatever reason. There could be an injury that happens, because we really are an incredible athletic event as well. Anything can happen, so that ability to pivot and twist is really important.”

Stephanie also explained how fans can influence NXT Superstars as well.

“And when you think about NXT, for example, our audience is actually determining who makes it to the next level, who goes to that main roster,” McMahon said. “And they know it, they know that they are a part of that person’s success, so they are that much more invested in it. And again, I just think that engagement is really important.”

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Tonight’s 205 Live features a huge number one contender match between Akria Tozawa and Ariya Daivari. Tozawa has been dealing with a shoulder injury caused by Daivari, and his opponents have targeted it in recent matches, leading to Akira not being 100%. Despite this, he still hit his Super Senton finish last night and won the tag team match but the question remains if he is in any shape to truly fend off Ariya Daivari tonight. Obviously, based on how things have been going as of late, I would expect the match at SummerSlam to be a Triple Threat with Neville, Tozawa and Daivari, and I would also expect Tozawa to win but not pin Neville. I think that’s the obvious workaround to get the title on someone else but keep Neville strong. Although as of now we’ve already got a lot of multi-man matches at SummerSlam.

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, WWE.com is teasing that Gentleman Jack Gallagher is at his breaking point with Brian Kendrick and how much he is being mocked. These two have been randomly going back and forth for weeks, with no real reason for the feud, but it seems we’ll get more of it tonight. As well as most likely more action with Cedric Alexander, TJP, Rich Swann, and Tony Nese.

That’s the preview for tonight’s 205 Live! Are you excited for the show? Let us know your thoughts on the Ringside Talk app and enjoy the show!
