“You’re Completely Missing The Fun”- Former WWE Superstar On AEW-WWE War
In a recent post on Twitter, AEW Wrestler Dax Harwood took a shot at WWE. This was in response to WWE’s constant attempts to overshadow and outmatch AEW in viewership ratings.
In his post, Harwood stresses that if one company tries to blot out the other, all the fun is wasted.
He explains how watching the Hart Foundation or NWO were things he loved as a child.

Guys, if you’re burying one company over the other, you’re completely missing the fun. I watched both shows from last night and we are lucky, as fans, to get the wrestling we get! In 1997 I LOVED The Hart Foundation and I LOVED the NWO. I hope you guys can do the same.

Harwood wants WWE to enjoy the ride rather than focus solely on business. He wants fans to just enjoy wrestling by watching AEW and not to see the two companies as rivals.
Over the past few weeks, WWE has stepped up its game in the viewership wars. Vince McMahon must certainly not want another WCW shooting up right now.
The most open clash came when WWE’s Great American Bash collided with AEW’s Fyter Fest. The two events were booked on the same date and time. This was the crucial split in viewership loyalty.
Dax Harwood wants fans to understand how lucky they are
WWE managed to edge past AEW by an acceptable margin, but AEW’s numbers were pretty high.
Realizing the pressure that WWE has been putting on AEW lately, Harwood addresses his concerns.

Harwood asks fans to enjoy both shows as wrestling fans.
In the past, WWE has been tormented by other rival promotions.

Will WWE let their competition grow, or continue their efforts to out-do them? We don’t know, but we do know that AEW doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
