10 Ways AEW Can Ensure Success In Year 2
2. Maintain Credibility
This particular topic is a close number two. One of AEW’s strongest qualities is their ability to treat their fan base as functioning humans with the capacity to remember general plot lines and notice when they fall off the face of the earth, making the most of unintended shifts to the story due to injury or global pandemic and adding it as part of the narrative rather than moving on and pretending last week’s episode didn’t happen.
This has been noticed across the wrestling community and the result is a greater impact of plot points for all characters and storylines.
A more particular, equally important, facet of this concept is the unfortunate reality that Cody Rhodes can never challenge anyone for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship as set in the stipulation between him and Chris Jericho.
As much as the fans of AEW would all love to see The American Nightmare as champion, it would undo the work they’ve done to sew this credibility in the first place.
