Most of that's more likely due to the Rumble and the expansion of the Network into the UK.

I'm personally crediting the Ascension finally getting that era-defining win as kickstarting WRESTLEMANIA SEASON, while also enjoying how serious people appear to be taking the original post.

I think this proves that more of the roster needs to rip off Looney Tunes characters. That will really start bringing in the Network buys! Well, Cena is already pretty much Bugs Bunny...plus, maybe they can re-sign Taz.

Small addition: He wins the Rumble and ... * Network tops 1 million subs * Reigns/Lesnar confrontation has reached a million views on YouTube* Raw and Smackdown do their best ratings in forever * WWE stock jumps 20 percent * Massive mainstream publicity from Forbes to Rolling Stone, etc. The facts speak for themselves. The people have spoken. The new champ is here. #BELEEDAT #HEMADEITREIGN {Spoiler}{Spoiler} On a serious note: I would not be surprised if Vince and others use the above as confirmation.

You can talk about stock prices, and subscribers as having nothing to do with Reigns but surly you can't believe that the rating spike has nothing to do with him.

The people have spoken. The new champ is here. What we call this is correlation, but not causation. There's a correlation between the rise of ice cream and murder rate, but you better believe ice cream doesn't cause murders.

Word spread that the Rumble and title match were shown for free on RAW - of course it will get more viewers and SmackDown was following on from that and was also live.

Tongue in cheek perhaps but if someone else won the Rumble I'd bet $50 that many, many more people would be making the point without consideration to sarcasm.
You need to give someone pushed to be 'the guy' a few months to see the investment mature. Anyone can pop a buy rate or a rating for any particular reason. One offs prove nothing.

There's a correlation between the rise of ice cream and murder rate, but you better believe ice cream doesn't cause murders. I don't even know what "the rise of ice cream" is, but there's a lot more correlation between what his happening in WWE (i.e. Roman's push) and WWE drawing ratings and selling subs than there is between ice cream and murder. Nothing you posted means there is no causation.

It's Rumble/Wrestlemania season. Naturally they'll get more subscribers and the stock will jump.
RAW did a rating because people were interested in the fallout, it was a novelty format, and Smackdown was live.
The publicity has mainly consisted of criticism of WWE for being out of touch and unresponsive to their audience. Nothing at all for them to crow about.
