10 Ways WWE Is Better Than AEW

10. Building ONE Star Still Fundamentally Works Just Enough

All too often, the only star Vince McMahon gives a sh*t about building has initials rather than a name, but when he does actually like one of his wrestlers, he backs them to the hilt.

Since John Cena reshaped what it was to be Titan's top star then got off the full time grind for good after 2015, the WWE letters have been harnessed to flog tickets and TV shows more than ever (and more on that elsewhere in this article). But Roman Reigns' megapush since August 2020 has at very least proven that audiences will stay sustained (if not grow all that much) if they're given at least one relentless winner to stick with.

The 'Tribal Chief's run has come at the detriment of many aimless midcarders on SmackDown - nobody on the regular main roster can claim to be in his orbit - but the blue brand's ratings have stabilised around two million anyway. Wins and losses and rankings are all-important, but there's not a single top star or belt-wearer promoted with as much conviction as 'The Head Of The Table'.
