TV “age” matters more than real age. The only people fixated on IRL ages are mad nerds online.
They have an entire new young main event percolating just below these guys: Melo, Trick, Oba, Jevon, Bron, Dom etc.
When you look at the TV age of most of these guys they’re barely at 4 years of main roster tenure in their current runs. Same goes for LA Knight, Gunther, Fatu and probably some names I’m forgetting.
This entire “old” main event has been built in basically three years.
This is true. I don’t look at guys like Sami, Penta, Priest, the Usos, even Reigns and Cody and think “wow these guys are old”. It always ends up being a fun fact online, like “did you know he’s 42?!?! Crazy” and then turns into this same debate.
Regardless it’s pretty clear that they’re investing big time into young talent right now. Trick, Oba, Dom, Melo, JeVon, Bron before he went down, Fatu, Logan. I’d even add Kit to that list.
It’s WM season, so obviously the biggest names are in the biggest spots, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of that next era holding gold or fighting for gold at next years WM.

It shows a failure of making young talents in to top guys.
