## [[Wrestling/WWENewEra "The New Era"]]: 2016-2023. By the end of the PG Era, audiences, on-air talent, and even authority figures were occasionally letting it be known that the company's direction wasn't quite where it could be. A series of changes were instituted to adjust the company's business model. Women were once again billed as legitimate wrestling talents and ''not'' "Divas", thanks largely to the efforts of the "Four Horsewomen" and Paige, who came up during the PG Era. Several high profile performers were called up from developmental, signed, or pulled away from top competing brands like NJPW and independent promotions, and, unusually, allowed to keep their same monikers, the prime example being Wrestling/AJStyles. Shane [=McMahon=] returned as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to balance out the rest of his family, resulting in ''Smackdown!'' (now ''Smackdown LIVE'') and ''RAW'' once again being treated as competing A-shows. The Cruiserweight Classic tournament led to the resurrected division getting its own show, the UK Championship tournament and other efforts similarly signaled expansion, etc. All of the above was the first year of this "New Era", and by 2019, the WWE's most popular star was, for the first time in its history, [[Wrestling/BeckyLynch a woman]].

## [[Wrestling/WWEGoldenAgeEra "Rock n' Wrestling" Era]]: In the late 80s, fans grew up watching Hulk Hogan telling us to eat your vitamins and say your prayers. They grew up watching a dead man wrestle. A guy with a red Mohawk who acted like a rooster. A guy from the ''G.I. Joe'' cartoons who then turned on America. A male supermodel. A man named after a boat. A barber. We can keep going. The "new generation" in WWE isn't thought of as highly as others simply because they didn't have Hogan and Savage (and others like them), over-the-top larger-than-life personalities with the charisma to sell ice cubes to Eskimos.
## [[Wrestling/WWENewGenerationEra "New Generation" Era]]: The WWF was trying to transition from a live-action cartoon back to a wrestling company, and the fans were...not as receptive as the WWF had hoped. '93-'96 was the "eye of the hurricane" so to speak, the calm between the storms: The WWF at the time was going through a turnover in talents after WCW had cleaned them out. They lost some of the gimmickry eventually and pulled off a more athletically-driven program prior to Attitude taking over, but in the early-to-mid 90's, there was a garbageman, a repo man, hog farmers, a Native American dude, Max Moon, a dentist, a hockey player, and so on. They repackaged the company after the steroid trials, trying to clean up their act with guys like Bret Hart, Hennig, Flair, and Shawn Michaels.
## Wrestling/AttitudeEra: 1997-2001. This era changed wrestling from being aimed at kids, to being aimed at teenagers. The landscape isn't the same today as it was then. Austin, HHH, Shawn, Foley, Taker etc. were veterans who toiled in the midcard for years. They were competitive. They were hungry to succeed. They had their pick of WWE, WCW and ECW. After the Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob (which created the evil Mr. [=McMahon=] character), and Austin defeating Shawn Micheals for the WWF title, thus igniting the Attitude Era. WWF changed from a warm & fuzzy program to a much more controversial one revolving around the Austin character, who drank beer on TV, gave everyone the middle finger, and raised hell. [=DX=] and Goldust were making sex jokes, groping audience members and acting like total degenerates. Women were used as eye candy to appeal to male viewers. It was all about controversy and getting ratings. ''Smackdown!'' debuted as a B-Show based on one of The Rock's edgier catchphrases. In some ways, the most embarrassing chapter in the company's history, and in others the most exciting (because it's just so unpredictable).
## Wrestling/RuthlessAggressionEra: 2001-2008. Like the New Generation era, was a transitional period for WWE. With the demise of WCW and ECW, the company regressed back to its roots, though not entirely: Wrestling was still TV-14 at this time, allowing sexuality, swearing, blood, among other things. The RA era was an extension of the Attitude Era; a mix of new talent and old talent, and a rebuilding time for WWE. An era that made many of it's own historic moments, such as ''Raw'' having a Women's Main Event, having the Cruiserweight Title Match as a main event (when Matt Hardy took on Rey Mysterio) and, for the first time, TLC was featured as a singles match. Other highlights include the formation of the group Evolution that launched the careers of both Batista and Randy Orton, the return of HBK to wrestling from a 4 year hiatus, and the start of John Cena's career (in which he stumbled upon his rap gimmick that launched his popularity).
## [[Wrestling/WWEPGEra "PG" Era]]: 2008-2016. Many claim that wrestling went "PG" because Linda [=McMahon=] was running for senate and she wanted a squeaky clean image, divorced from the past decade of debauchery and sophomoric humor (she lost both races in part due to her televised appearances during the Attitude Era). However, the shift back to a "safer" family-oriented show was out of necessity for WWE's survival. Rampant drug and alcohol abuse, wrestler after wrestler being crippled by the dangerous stunts, the death of Wrestling/EddieGuerrero and the Wrestling/ChrisBenoit murder-suicide, former wrestlers dying from drug abuse, governmental scrutiny (that means the FBI), and every talking head known to man out to crucify pro wrestling in general and WWE in particular--all of that meant big-money advertisers pulling out. It was quickly discovered that Cena appealed to women and children more than the diehard male 18-34 male demographic of wrestling fans; thus WWE attracted a more mainstream audience, which meant more money. Other popularity-driven decisions included bookings of The Shield and experiments with new talent, including call ups from NXT. Indeed, WWE has made a remarkable turnaround: It's seen (again) by the mainstream as family entertainment. Big-money advertisers are lining up, the government isn't hounding them anymore, the media has stopped digging around WWE trash cans looking for scandals, WWE performers (especially John Cena) are in high demand in other forms of entertainment and make frequent media appearances. For a while, the downgrade to PG ironically destroyed what little credibility and class the women's division had, as it was forbidden for female wrestlers to get beaten up by men, so they had catfights for the audience's amusement.
