Vince McMahon isn’t afraid of AEW’s rise. That’s the common verdict. But is that the correct verdict? Former WWE referee, Mike Chioda, feels McMahon is afraid.

During Monday Mailbag with Mike Chioda, the former referee revealed that The Big Man always wants to be at the top. This is why Vince McMahon is cautious about AEW’s accelerated climb to the top.

“Yes, I think he is. He always wants to be on top. I have seen him demolish and step on a lot of territories around the country and around the world. He wants to be number one. Everybody wants to be number one whether it’s in their sport, in their career, or owning a company. I definitely think he’s very concerned right now because they’re picking up some good talent. I know Vince. Vince is concerned.” H/t Sportskeeda

Undoubtedly, Vince McMahon wants to be at the top. He has made that clear from day 1. But, to claim he is worried about AEW might be a bit of a stretch. He’s obviously aware of the company, but he must also be aware that WWE caters to a larger audience.

Keeping that aside, Vince McMahon has produced characters like The Fiend, The Deadman, The Demon, and others that are Supernatural. While these characters don’t contribute much in terms of wrestling, they produce engaging segments. On the other hand, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Stone Cold, The Rock, and others have produced brutal matches as well as entertaining segments.

A mixture of everything is what has helped Vince McMahon take WWE to the peak of sports entertainment.

There’s monumental time before AEW catches up with WWE, provided The Big Man stops pushing through!
