5 times AEW took a shot at WWE

#3 No third-party ban for AEW roster

AEW's "Superbad" Kip Sabian taking a jab at WWE's policies.

AEW took another jab during the Covid 19 pandemic at WWE when the latter made another bizarre rule. This one made significant changes on what a WWE Superstar can and cannot do with third-party platforms like Cameo and Twitch.

WWE did not appreciate the wrestlers selling their names and images on social streaming platforms. The reason being is that the company owned the exclusive rights to those names. Furthermore, they said using videos without permission was detrimental to them.

Many former wrestlers and the current roster are known to spend quite a lot of their time on third-party platforms to make extra earnings for themselves. The decision from WWE came as a shock to many superstars who went to protest against the issue. Paige, Mia Yim and AJ Styles were among the few superstars who spoke publicly on the issue.

AEW saw an opportunity here to mock the competition for its new rule change. So, during a backstage segment, Kip Sabian and his girlfriend Penelope Ford made sure to get a cheeky jab in at WWE. Sabian promoted his Twitch channel to show that AEW wasn't bothered by their roster's use of social streaming sites.
