Why Are WWE Wrestlers Going to AEW?
Contents
In recent months, a number of WWE wrestlers have left the company to join All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Some have cited creative differences, while others have simply said they were looking for a change. But what is the real reason behind this mass exodus?
The WWE’s monopoly is being challenged
AEW is a new wrestling company started by Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, who are brothers. They are all former WWE wrestlers. Many WWE wrestlers are choosing to go to AEW because they are unhappy with WWE. They feel like they are not being used to their fullest potential and are not being paid enough.
AEW is a viable alternative for wrestlers
While WWE has been the only major game in town for wrestling for many years, that is no longer the case. With the rise of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), wrestlers now have a viable alternative to WWE.
AEW was founded in 2019 by Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega. Since then, AEW has been steadily building its roster with top independent wrestlers from around the world. In 2020, AEW signed a television deal with TNT, making it the first wrestling promotion to air weekly prime-time wrestling programming on cable television since WWE’s Monday Night Raw in 2005.
While WWE still dominates the wrestling landscape, AEW is quickly becoming a viable alternative for wrestlers. AEW offers wrestlers more creative freedom than WWE and is willing to pay top dollar for its talent. Additionally, AEW has a more diverse roster of wrestlers than WWE, which has long been accused of favoring white male wrestlers.
With AEW continuing to grow in popularity, it’s likely that more and more top wrestlers will make the jump from WWE to AEW in the years to come.
The WWE has a history of mistreating wrestlers
The WWE has a long history of mistreating wrestlers, which has led many to seek work elsewhere.
In recent years, the WWE has been increasingly monopolistic, making it difficult for other wrestling promotions to survive. This has made it difficult for wrestlers to find work outside of the WWE.
However, this is beginning to change, as the WWE’s monopoly is being challenged by a new promotion called All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
AEW was founded by Tony Khan, the son of Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan. The Khan family also owns Fulham Football Club in the English Premier League.
AEW has already signed some big names, including Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page. These signings have made it clear that AEW is serious about challenging the WWE’s monopoly.
It remains to be seen whether AEW will be successful in wresting control of the wrestling world from the WWE, but it is certainly off to a promising start.
AEW offers a better deal for wrestlers
AEW is willing to pay wrestlers more
The major reason why WWE wrestlers are going to All Elite Wrestling is because AEW is willing to pay them more. While the WWE has a reputation for being a bit stingy when it comes to paying their wrestlers, AEW is rumored to be shelling out big bucks in order to attract top talent. In fact, it’s been reported that AEW is willing to pay wrestlers up to 5 times what the WWE is offering. With such a huge difference in pay, it’s no wonder that many wrestlers are jumping ship to AEW.
AEW offers more creative freedom for wrestlers
All Elite Wrestling, founded in 2019 by Tony Khan, offers wrestlers the opportunity to have more creative freedom in their match. This is a major selling point for many wrestlers, as WWE has been known to be very restrictive in what their wrestlers are allowed to do in the ring. In addition, AEW offers a better pay structure for wrestlers, which has led many top WWE performers to jump ship to AEW.
The WWE is losing its grip on the wrestling market
AEW is attracting WWE fans
In recent months, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has been making headlines in the world of professional wrestling. AEW is a new promotion founded in 2019 by Tony Khan, the son of Shahid Khan, owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. AEW has been able to sign some of the biggest names in wrestling, including Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes.
AEW has been able to succeed where other promotions have failed because they are willing to listen to what the fans want. AEW has a more old-school approach to wrestling than WWE does, and many fans are tired of WWE’s constant focus on entertainment over wrestling. In addition, WWE has a monopoly on the wrestling market, which has made it difficult for other promotions to get started.
AEW is not the only promotion attracting WWE fans; New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) is also gaining popularity in the United States. NJPW has been around for decades and is considered by many to be the best wrestling promotion in the world. NJPW stars such as Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, and Tetsuya Naito are some of the most popular wrestlers in the world.
The success of AEW and NJPW is bad news for WWE. WWE’s ratings have been declining for years, and they show no signs of stopping. If WWE continues to lose fans to AEW and NJPW, it could eventually spell trouble for the company.
The WWE is losing wrestlers to AEW
The WWE is the largest wrestling entertainment company in the world. They have a monopoly on the wrestling market and have been able to dictate terms for decades. However, this is starting to change. All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is a new wrestling company that is quickly gaining popularity. In its first year, AEW has already signed some of the WWE’s top wrestlers, including Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley.
The WWE’s monopoly on the wrestling market is under threat from AEW. AEW is a newer company that is quickly gaining popularity. In its first year, AEW has already signed some of the WWE’s top wrestlers, including Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley. The WWE is losing its grip on the wrestling market and may soon be forced to compete on equal footing with AEW.
