NXT never needed to treat AEW like a threat. Not really. I got so much shit for saying that. But think about what WWE could have done to try and actually destroy AEW. I thought this may have accidentally been to AEW’s benefit at one point, chasing some major names away. But AEW doesn’t know how to make them appeal to general audiences. They may have general appeal, but they’re appearing on a show that requires its audience to actively enjoy that it’s fake. But then they also sometimes pretend there is drama. It makes zero sense to present television like this.

1.1 million. It’s not a knock on how Bryan and Punk could potentially be. Or seem to be with the audience that is going to scream loudly about the hipster product. But you cannot appeal to an audience that might slowly want to get back into wrestling (which has broken a lot of people’s hearts over the past 20-30 years) with “LOLWrestling!”
