Thinking about a guy like Big E, people saying how this loss to Brock will "damage him". But in reality, he will always just be "another guy" at this point in his career. They could give him the title back in a few months or next year and he'd feel exactly the same as he did.
The majority of the WWE roster, minus Brock Lesnar (who has the lure of being part time and booked like a Beast) and Roman Reigns (who has been protected and booked strong since his debut) are just "another guy". They can be pushed to world titles and main event pictures, but they aren't really "stars" and will never be so.
To make a star, you almost need to be booked consistently strong from the start or else there is no advancing in today's world....
But then you can come in strong like Braun Strowman and AJ Styles and seem like "a star" for awhile, but then get pushed down and made to be "just another guy" to the point of Braun's eventual title run being "who cares" and then being released and AJ being like... "Oh yeah, he's still on the show"
Meanwhile over in AEW you have almost the opposite problem. Everyone is booked "too strongly". They want all their talent to come across as "amazing", where even the squash jobber matches are not just quick jobber matches, but where the jobber gets in a good amount of offense and it looks like a "battle" for the winner. Everyone becomes "just another guy" but in kind of an inverse way than WWE.
I lost what my point is.... I think it was that Big E will be fine in the long run, because it'll all just be "the same" anyways.
I may or may not also just be stirring the pot.
