I actually thought they would do Dream vs. Strong on the third episode. But I don't think it was surprising or rushed.

Of course he's not sweating it. That's just as dumb as saying Vince is sweating anything. They're not going to lose their jobs or their salaries, etc. The fact that they're truly changing anything and can't really beat out their competition is telling though.
The issue isn't whether WWE can survive. WWE is basically too big to fail at this point. They're not going anywhere. AEW is the one who has all the pressure and will continue to do so.
That doesn't make WWE's product better though, because it's not. WWE's product is simply there because the money and name allows it to be. That doesn't equal quality, and in fact it's actually usually trash overall. That's something many folks and especially those in WWE just either don't get or refuse to accept or acknowledge, for whatever reason.
