4 Ways AEW's Television Deal could hurt WWE, and 4 Ways it could help them.

Is this the beginning of a new wrestling war? Or will the two promotions actually help each other?

Could Hurt the WWE #3: There could be an exodus of talent.

Luke Harper and Sasha Banks have both asked for their WWE releases. Are more to follow?

Ever since the fall of WCW, the WWE has been able to retain a lot of talent just based on the fact that there were no other major promotions to sign with.

Yes, men like Kurt Angle and Christian made the jump to TNA/Impact, but their contracts were a fraction of what they had been paid in WWE. In order to make a decent living, and ply their trade on a massive stage with plenty of eyes on them, the WWE superstars had to remain with the company.

But now that AEW is providing an alternative, those same superstars might decide to jump ship. Already, Sasha Banks, Luke Harper, and the Revival have asked for their release from the company. WWE could lose valuable talent due to the AEW TV deal.
