They keep it JUST "edgy" enough not to lose their old fanbase entirely, meanwhile they're building a new fanbase, and I think you can't deny that the current WWE product fits in nicely with what's "popular" with kids today.
I'm not sure they do well enough at keeping some of their old audience, though. They're still doing worse in terms of sales (Selling out is a misnomer), PPV buys, and anything that determines the actual fandom. Ratings are up, but only by a few points (as in, tenths of a point) and this is going into Wrestlemania, where ratings always go up.

Sure, they haven't driven everyone away, but...
