What Does WWE Think of AEW?

The rivalry between WWE and AEW has been heating up as of late. What does WWE think of their competition?

WWE’s Reaction to AEW

When All Elite Wrestling was first announced, it was met with a lot of excitement from the wrestling community. AEW was seen as a potential threat to WWE’s monopoly on the wrestling industry. WWE has since then attempted to downplay AEW’s significance.

WWE’s Stock Price Drops After AEW Announces TV Deal

When All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced their new television deal with WarnerMedia, the WWE’s stock prices fell sharply.

This was not entirely unexpected, as the WWE has been facing increased competition from AEW in recent months. However, it does show that the WWE is feeling the pressure from their up-and-coming rival.

The WWE will likely be looking to counter AEW’s momentum in the coming weeks and months. For now, though, it seems that the WWE is on the back foot.

WWE Issues Statement Responding to AEW

In recent months, a new wrestling company has begun to make waves in the industry. All Elite Wrestling, or AEW, has been seen as a potential threat to WWE’s monopoly on professional wrestling.

In response to this perceived threat, WWE issued a statement today addressing AEW directly.

“We are aware of the new wrestling company that has been launched by Tony Khan,” the statement reads. “While WWE respects the competition, we remain confident in our position as the unrivaled leader in sports entertainment.”

The statement goes on to say that WWE will “always deliver the biggest and best stories” and “create more excitement and opportunity than any other company in the world.”

It is clear that WWE is taking AEW seriously as a competitor, but they remain confident in their own ability to continue to dominate the industry.

WWE’s Talent Reacts to AEW

As the newest wrestling promotion in town, All Elite Wrestling has been making waves throughout the industry. Everyone is talking about them, and that includes WWE’s talent. Let’s take a look at what some of WWE’s Superstars are saying about AEW.

Seth Rollins Reacts to AEW Announcement

Seth Rollins has given his reaction to the announcement that All Elite Wrestling is coming in 2019.

In a statement released on Twitter, Rollins says that he welcomes the competition and that it will only make WWE stronger.

Rollins also took a shot at AEW’s President Tony Khan, saying that WWE has “beaten” him before and will do so again.

Becky Lynch Reacts to AEW Announcement

As restrictions on travel ease up and people begin to feel more comfortable going out again, WWE’s Becky Lynch took to Twitter to give her thoughts on AEW’s announcement that they will be holding shows with fans in attendance starting in July.

AEW President Tony Khan made the announcement on the latest episode of Dynamite, saying that their first show with fans will be held at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida on July 8th. Khan also said that AEW will be following all CDC guidelines and that fans will be seated in pods.

Lynch tweeted in response to Khan’s announcement, saying “Packed arenas are coming back baby!!!!”. She also included a heart emoji and the hashtag #AEWDynamite.

It’s great to see Lynch so excited for wrestling’s return to normalcy and it will be interesting to see how WWE reacts once AEW begins holding shows with fans in attendance.

WWE’s Fans React to AEW

All Elite Wrestling’s long-awaited debut is finally here, and WWE’s fans are already reacting. AEW’s first show, Double or Nothing, took place last night, and it was a huge success. Naturally, WWE fans had a lot to say about it. Some were impressed by what they saw, while others were not so impressed. Here are some of the best reactions from WWE’s fans.

AEW Is a Breath of Fresh Air

AEW is a wrestling promotion founded in 2019. It is owned by Tony Khan, who is also the CEO of Jacksonville Jaguars. AEW is the first major wrestling promotion to be launched in the United States in over 20 years.

AEW’s fans reacted to the news of the company with enthusiasm. WWE’s fans, on the other hand, were mostly indifferent to the news. The majority of WWE’s fans don’t think that AEW will be able to compete with WWE, but some are interested in seeing what AEW has to offer.

WWE has not openly acknowledged AEW’s existence, but there have been a few subtle references to the company on WWE programming.

WWE Fans Are Excited for AEW

Though WWE fans are excited for All Elite Wrestling, WWE does not seem to be publicly acknowledging the new company. AEW was founded in early 2019 by Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Kenny Omega, three former WWE stars. The company’s first event, Double or Nothing, was held in May of 2019.

While AEW is not competition for WWE yet, they are clearly gunning for WWE’s spot as the top wrestling company in the world. This has made some WWE fans very excited for the future of professional wrestling.

One fan on Reddit said, “I’m so happy that AEW exists. I’m tired of WWE’s monopoly on wrestling.”

Another fan wrote, “AEW is exactly what WWE needs right now. They are fresh and exciting.”

WWE has not publicly acknowledged AEW since its formation, but that may change in the future. For now, WWE fans are enjoying having another option for professional wrestling.
