It’s amazing what competition can do (in regards to WWE)

[RammerJammer]

Since AEW was created as a company:

Sasha Banks returns and is one of the biggest feuds in the company (even though she couldn’t leave if she wanted to)

The Revival are Tag Champs

Shinsuke Nakamura on TV every week as IC Champion

Luke Harper returns and is involved in one of the top feuds on SmackDown

Lio Rush returns and becomes #1 contender for the Cruiserweight Title

Gallows & Anderson are constantly in the upper midcard/main event scene on Raw

AOP about to return

NXT on USA

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

wouldn't consider Gallows and Anderson a positive since they've been losing since reforming the club...AJ wins though

 

[Paper Boi]

Shinsuke on TV every week is no longer a positive.

[RammerJammer]

Shinsuke on TV every week is no longer a positive.

I mean, before he wasn’t even on TV last week, sure his manager is a crack head but he’s not in catering every week

 

[Lootpack]

Didn't the tag team division get them hands just this past Monday tho?

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

shyt thought Lio Rush was long gone

To a dude Bork Lazer could basically be booked to beat with an arm tied behind his back.

There’s levels to this bad booking

I wouldn't put all of this on AEW.

NXT has always been this good, people were just sleeping on it because of the lackluster main roster.

Also the NXT on USA deal was in the works for about 2 years. It was the next logical choice for USA since they were losing SD Live.

NXT always "owned" Wednesdays. As far as I'm concerned AEW wants the war because they seemed to choose Wed. instead of Tues. like it was originally thought.

 

[El Cocodrilo]

havent even been checking on Smackdown but ill catch up on Hulu to see what uncle Luke is up to

NBA on TNT is on Tuesday.

i feel like there's levels to it

WWE utilizing more of their talent all of a sudden is not a direct effect of AEW

but Cokeboy putting Heyman and Bischoff in positions of power is a direct effect of AEW since he most likely was trying to stop them from jumping ship

Heyman and Bischoff (moreso Heyman) are the ones pushing for more talent to be utilized

so essentially AEW did cause the change, just not directly

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Reminds me of them pulling out all the stops against TNA by bringing Bret back for a WrestleMania run.

 

[The Great One]

90% of this stuff happened before AEW or had zero to do with it, stop it.

 

[THE 101]

And I still ain't watching that trash.
