I can't see this being the downfall of AEW. It will probably take more than that to end AEW.
Its the usual beehive talk that goes on since 2019 about how AEW dies while just a few days ago WBD again showed how happy they are with the Relationship etc.
But still, AEW cant afford to keep doing that because even its own fans demand more from AEW.
Its not like the WWE were fans are used to childish stuff, to the company being petty and all.
Its unfair of course, but this is what it means to fight a Monopole.
The WWE trained its viewers so much that not even a horrible sex scandal can make them shake in their boots.
AEW does not have that luxury and has to stop with this petty stuff.
Or at least do this stuff outside of the main show.
You will be judged harsher for the smallest things, so you gotta take the high road or be smarter about it.
The WWE spent their Wrestlemania week with cheap shots towards AEW, which is fine...but AEW wrestlers praising AEW and defending the company...is bad.
The ALL IN footage is nothing in the end.
No win or Loss, it is what it is.
There was no way the footage would have changed anything or that AEW would come out the winner here.
Least of all when on the other side is CM Punk.
That man literally could kick his own dog on camera and people would blame the Dog.
This is the same man that was defended when in the indies several women claimed he made them uncomfortable.
The ROH roster were just jealous when he Left ROH, the various WWE problems backstage were all just him standing up for himself and being the victim.
When he hurled Homophobic slurs at a fan, the fan asked for it.
When he punched the wrong fan, that fan was to blame because he stood too close to punk.
When he threatened to send lawyers to Hangman Page because he gone off script, it was justified.
When he told the bucks to come to his locker room if they have a problem, it was everyone elses fault except his.
When he attacked Perry, it was Perrys fault that Punk lost it and also Tony Khan is to blame because he didnt control the Veteran better.
In the end, everyone made the wrong choices here...there is not one person to blame on this.
Punk was frustrated with things were going because of Perry, Khan and all that...and it lead to this.
Its unfortunate but it happened and decision have been made.
Punk is happy in the WWE, AEW runs just fine...its pointless to go further with this.
Wrestling is becoming more popular again...focus on that.
The two biggest companies run by petty people while wrestling is booming...is insane.
Stop it and focus on elevating Wrestling further.
