WWE has been doing the pro wrestling dance for a very long time. They are the promotion that has literally been the one many fans have grown up watching, and for a long time they have effectively had a monopoly on the North American pro wrestling market, and a huge chunk of most other markets with the exception of Japan.

The WWE can use the competition with AEW to showcase just what their promotion stands for. WWE isn't just about entertainment. It's about making people respect pro wrestling, and honouring the legacy of those who have come before. This is why so many WWE Hall of Fame members never drew a paycheque from Vince McMahon. WWE can use this opportunity to prove that they are the legacy promotion and still carry the standard for sports entertainment.

There you have it; Four ways the new AEW Television deal could hurt the WWE, and four ways it could help them. Questions or comments? Please leave them after the article, and as always thanks for reading!
