It’s common practice for rival wrestling promotions to name-drop wrestlers from other promotions. However, WWE never lets its superstars freely use the name “AEW” or its wrestler’s name on television.

On the contrary, AEW never misses out on any chance to drag out WWE’s name or a situation involving one of their superstars during a promo. Superstars like Britt Baker and MJF are notoriously known for name-dropping WWE stars on AEW television.

WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair revealed the reasons for this on the latest episode of his podcast and explained why do WWE stars never talk about AEW wrestlers at least on live TV.

On last week’s Friday Night SmackDown, the live audience witnessed a scorching verbal battle between Hall of Famer, Edge, and former champion, The Miz.

During the promo, Edge mentioned the time when CM Punk name-dropped him on AEW Dynamite a week prior. However, notably, none of the superstars directly name-dropped anyone from AEW.

Flair immediately confessed that the reason they don’t do it is that WWE chairman, Vince McMahon will definitely fire the individual.

“Yeah, I believe so. I’m sure that Vince would go crazy and some people got fired for doing that. But they do it on social media, which for some reason is the criteria that they do all, end all for everybody.” Flair said.

However, Flair also confessed that WWE superstars mention AEW over social media or podcast appearances. Maybe the WWE authority must have built a certain blueprint for the superstars to mention the names.
