AEW is an alternative to WWE and is not competing with the company, according to Shad Khan. However, the Wednesday Night Wars is a very real thing, which AEW has been dominating so far.
CM Punk recently spoke to Screen Rant, where he gave his thoughts on what All Elite Wrestling should do. AEW should focus on themselves instead of WWE. He says that they lessen everything they are trying to accomplish by constantly mentioning WWE.
“I think AEW needs to focus on themselves and stop talking about WWE. Cody and The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, all those guys have something great going on. I just think it lessens and cheapens what they are doing when they constantly attack WWE.”
“There hasn’t been an alternative to WWE in so very long, and I think they do a disservice to themselves when they’re trying to be the alternative but constantly bring up WWE.”
“But I understand, when people ask you the questions during the interviews you have to answer them. But that’s just part of life. You have to learn how to navigate that. I would like them to just try to focus on their product and building it up and making it better. I think that would benefit all the fans.”
WWE and AEW are still very different promotions and for now, AEW is looking strong with a consistently good product.
