AEW Vs. WWE: Head To Head
1. Momentum
AEW is colder than it was the morning of May 26, on which a mass gathering of stunned pro wrestling fans were rapt at its vision for the future of professional wrestling.
The chair shot controversy of Fyter Fest, its embarrassing Buy In, and the uneven and overlong Fight For The Fallen—on which Hangman Page failed to project himself as a babyface star—have all converged to encourage the naysayers. AEW exploded into existence, but has stumbled into something approaching notorious early learning.
But ALL OUT, its troubling main event aside, looks to be an incredible night of spectacular, violent, hate-fuelled professional wrestling. The bizarre, preceding B-shows may well prove to be necessary tests of AEW’s ability to produce shows in retrospect—better to accidentally broadcast closed captions on the pre-show of a charity event than the debut on premium cable TV, for example.
WWE gained momentum following a hoot of an Extreme Rules pay-per-view, but lost it just 24 hours later following the events of Monday Night RAW. Building a SummerSlam card both stale (Lesnar Vs. Rollins) and uninspiring (Lynch Vs. Natalya), WWE also presented an interminable, poorly-worked and illogical Fatal 4-Way Elimination match. WWE also conspired to build a programme (Ziggler Vs. The Miz) by burying both of the performers in it. This is consistent with WWE’s terrible TV/very good pay-per-view cycle.
Momentum generates anticipation. Arriving at the answer is simple.
What is the more anticipated event: WWE SummerSlam, or AEW ALL OUT?
