Regarding hashtags and social media, WWE Chief Brand Officer (and on-screen character) Stephanie McMahon
told Mashable
that "it's our secret sauce... Our fans are part of our show — whether they're in the arena chanting and showing their signs or they're on social media, which gives them the opportunity to do that from their sofas. We engage with our audience. It's what we do. Without our fans, we wouldn't have a show."
