#2 Production value

Our second category is production value. The upstart promotion has been 'all in' from the start, but how well are they doing with actual production?
For a fledgling organization with only a few shows under its belt, AEW's productions have been surprisingly slick. That being said, there have been minor issues with getting the action happening in the ring onto the screens of fans. AEW, frankly, has an Impact Wrestling level of production value. They're somewhat polished, but lacking the refinement that WWE displays on a weekly basis.
Fortunately, this is something that AEW can take steps to improve. Fans should expect to see a gradual increase in quality as AEW finds its footing.
Grade: B-
All Elite Wrestling's productions don't look bad – certainly, they appear far more polished than Ring of Honor's broadcasts – but there is room for improvement, which will need to be done if they expect to compete with WWE.
