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 #4: The Cleaner could be the next Hulk Hogan.

The Cleaner Kenny Omega announces his signing with AEW.

If you ask ten different wrestling fans who the best wrestler in the world is today, you might get ten different answers. But if you asked a thousand, the overwhelming consensus would be that one man is the best in the world: the Cleaner Kenny Omega.

After Omega announced he would be leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling earlier this year, a massive bidding war broke out between the WWE and AEW for his services. Omega was allegedly flown to WWE headquarters for negotiations not once, but twice.

In the end, the Best Bout Machine signed with AEW. Before the upstart promotion had a television deal, this was already potentially devastating news for WWE. But now, it means even more.

Kenny Omega might be the next Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair, and he works for WWE's competition. This could make things tough for WWE in the coming years.
