10 Common WWE Things You Won't See In AEW

10. Stars Driving Themselves To Shows

With Brandi Rhodes herself saying “wrestlers won't be driving themselves”, this is all but confirmed to be the case. And it seems like this should be the standard and something we shouldn't even need to discuss. But the world of wrestling (particularly WWE) has been a place where the workers are forced to sacrifice for the hopes of proving they are a "company guy" or someone befitting the top tier where these sort of "luxuries" are afforded.

That is why it is so imperative that AEW continues on from this first step to try to make leaps and bounds in progressing the industry. Not just in the ring, but for the daily lives of the wrestlers as well. And although this will of course accomplish a great deal of good, it will also be a great decision from a PR standpoint.

In the era of social media boycotts and "cancelling" celebrities over scandals, it may be no better time than to stir the pot and cause a revolution of sorts. Taking a stand against a company with a checkered history both politically and/or ethically depending on your respective positions, whilst also progressing the industry standard for worker's rights?

Not bad for a brand new company, if they can accomplish this successfully.

The key here is that perception in media today is imperative, and it doesn't matter the product. Being the babyface wrestling company may very well be one of the most important things AEW can accomplish to differentiate themselves.
