From @mikedeleon: With WM32 near and big matches in limbo, what drastic measures does WWE really need to do in order to break the attendance record?
The company isn't in position to do anything drastic right now. They are going to continue to stay the course because injuries to key players have put them in a top spot. The only "drastic measure" they could do is bring John Cena back as the hottest heel in wrestling. Have him cheat to win the Royal Rumble or something like that. It's not likely, but that's really about the only thing they can do to shake things up significantly. Regarding the attendance number, they're likely not going to legitimately get 100,000 people in the building anyway...yet they're going to say they did even if it's 80,000. They tend to add 10k people to whatever the real real number is. In this case they might add more than that. The beauty of WrestleMania, in WWE's eyes, is that they can put tickets on sale five months in advance with no matches announced and do great business off the name alone. The reputation of WrestleMania is what sells it more than anything else.
