5 reasons why AEW has been disappointing and 5 reasons they are still generating excitement

Fans were excited for the advent of All Elite Wrestling, but many have voiced their disappointment with the promotion.

Exciting #5: In many ways, the new wrestling war is already underway

Fans were shocked when Jon Moxley--AKA Dean Ambrose--showed up at Double or Nothing.

The Monday Night War may have been a more overt, protracted struggle, but rest assured that shots have already been fired in the new wrestling war between AEW and WWE.

Soon after the announcement that All Elite Wrestling was forming officially, WWE tag team division's Top Guys The Revival asked for their releases. As we all know now, those releases have not been granted.

Other wrestlers who have asked for WWE releases include Luke Harper and Sasha Banks. WWE has elected to have those athletes sit out their contracts rather than grant a release because they don't want established stars joining AEW.

If the wrestling war weren't looming on the horizon, the WWE wouldn't be playing hardball with their contracted wrestlers.

AEW has also hinted that they will attempt to run their weekly broadcasts in direct opposition to WWE. If that's not a sign that the wrestling war is imminent, we don't know what is.

There you have it: Five ways AEW has been disappointing to some fans and five ways they have generated excitement.
