10 Ways WWE Is Better Than AEW

9. Rewatching & Reliving

On a near-weekly basis at this point, AEW Dynamite provides a captivating advertisement for the WWE Network.

In CM Punk, FTR and others, All Elite Wrestling has a roster of wrestlers indebted to the awesome legacy of Bret Hart. A legacy which can be watched in glorious upscaled colour on Peacock for just short of a tenner.

This isn't an inherent issue - AEW should aim to be the custodians of all wrestling history even if they can't actually broadcast the vast majority of it - but there's little motivation for the roster to lean on their own ups and downs for the last three years because who could even go and watch it?

Outside of spending an awful long time in the Fite app, there's no clean and clear way to relive the incredible highs and lows of a promotion that has achieved far more in its short time alive than many longstanding brands have in decades of business. A streaming deal is perpetually one of the things touted whenever Tony Khan has a big announcement to make. The sooner that's what he's actually got to say, the better.
