We live in a digital age where WWE quantifies success based on the number of social media followers their brand has, they encourage social interaction with constant hashtag plugs, and they have actually created their own Network on the internet. Why then, have interactive shows Taboo Tuesday and/or Cyber Sunday never seen a return?

On those events, viewers would be responsible for what they saw on the screen, given a choice of three options to choose from be it for title match contenders or match stipulations. It was a great concept, it just happened to be executed really poorly when WWE tried it previously.

With fans more vocal than ever about what they do and don’t want, now is the time to exhume it. For one night, WWE would be booked by the fans, who could finally have their often-ignored voices heard. If WWE allowed full creative freedom to the voting audience, the results could be spectacular. With no pay-per-view buy rates to worry about anymore, and with the nature of the show encouraging, nay demanding social interaction, it seems win-win for WWE.
