Less about the wrestlers within the company and more the ones on the other side, WWE offloaded one of the biggest matches they had left at just a few days notice as a grip on ratings demographic control loosened.
September 2021 marked something of a zenith for All Elite Wrestling's bold next steps, having unveiled CM Punk, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson within the last 30 days and conclusively moved forward with Hangman Page as the successor to Kenny Omega's throne. All Out 2021 was forecasted as the company's highest selling show ever, critical acclaim for the event was reaching WrestleMania X7-levels, and the fabled seven figure viewership had become the norm.
Unsettled by all of this, WWE raced ahead with the obvious Survivor Series matches two months early. Dragging The Bloodline and now new WWE Champion Big E over to Monday Night Raw for the pure and obvious sake of it, the match performed well but didn't arrest the consistent slide (it never does) even after AEW slipped from their own pedestal.
