I really think most guys jumping from WWE to AEW would end up making a lateral move after a few weeks/months. Like.....have LAX and Lucha Bros really been booked any better/differently than they were in TNA? Actually I'd say LAX are booked worse since they went from top tier tag team stars of the division to heavies for 50 year old Jericho and doing a bunch of comedy spots for some reason. Lucha Bros have had some great matches but haven't really had any storylines, for every match they have they're missing from TV for 2-3 weeks, they're booked like it's EWR and you just want to get a good match rating.


Have the Elite been booked any differently than they were in ROH? Or SCU? Or Best Friends? shyt, PAC was booked better on 205 Live than he has been in AEW. The only real difference a jump is going to make for most talent will be having longer matches in front of more enthused crowds for a while.


Rusev would get stuck in a 4 month feud with Jack Swagger, The Revival would immediately feud with the Bucks and after 3 months be a random team in a battle royale for a number one contendership before a PPV.

Probably some NXT guys since a lot aren't on longterm contracts.

Sasha Banks
Brodie Lee
Rusev

Are probably the ones most fed up so I can see them leaving. Sasha would bring AEW to incredibly high ratings lowkey.

It seems obvious that Arn was placed with Cody to turn on him, and the Revival fits perfectly. Being in a Cody storyline, then feuding with the Bucks places them at a main event level for months that they’ll never get in WWE

Didnt Ambrose won every fukkn belt in wwe....some guys dont even win 1


:gucci:
How many of those title reigns were memorable? You can't even remember if he actually did win every title. That's saying something. A fukking referee's son won the tag titles with Braun Strowman, that doesn't mean it's good.

Do you really think the tag division has been placed at a main event level so far

Please tell me what Raw, Smackdown, or NXT is doing that's so much better than AEW.

You complain about Kenny Omega being tag champ but him and Page are entertaining and deliver dope matches. Their match with Lucha Bros was a MOTY candidate. Yeah, he's feuding with Pac again, so what? There's a reason they're still feuding. Pac wants his tiebraker match. NXT is giving us ANOTHER Chiampa and Gargano feud. Gimme Pac and Omega over that any day.

I ain't a fan of the women's division at all so I ain't getting into that.

Feel free to point out the WWE matches that tell a story as well.
