Now, news has surfaced that the company does not care about it. Neither has the company commented about the situation, nor has WWE made an attempt to sign on other pro-wrestlers.

This won’t be the first time that fans have compared WWE and AEW but the former has always denied AEW as a strong competitor. Unfortunately, WWE may not be realizing how far AEW has come, and very soon it will become a strong competitor within the wrestling industry.
