5 things AEW could learn from WWE 

#2 AEW could move away from the win-loss rule

In WWE, wins and losses are often trivial. But in AEW, they used their stats system to base their title shots around it to make themselves look different. Now, there are some positives to this model.

It allows wrestlers to "come up the ranks." This is a very concise storytelling approach best suited for small scale promotions. But AEW also tracks the wrestler's record in Dark and Elevation.

But it's often hard to explain a fan-favourite wrestler's push despite being on the losing end of things after several matches. It's probably why WWE has never gotten entangled with stats, with a few exceptions.

AEW can pull this off for the long term. The AEW win-loss ratio resets every year.

“When the year ends and AEW is in Jacksonville in January, that is when the plan to reset is. Tony is obsessed with numbers. He mentioned we’ll do a reset, but we’ll have your overall record on there. I’m thinking that’s a lot of numbers with their Twitter handle and their nickname. He has a point: your overall record will always be intact, but just to keep the top fives for women, tag teams and men’s singles, every year will reset,” Cody Rhodes explained once.

While AEW does have battle royale and ladder matches to get around these rules, they will have to consider them in the future.
