We all know that if certain performers in WWE are unleashed, they will put on some of the best matches they can. WWE has Superstars like AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, etc. all of whom are capable of putting on some true wrestling clinics. Unfortunately, the WWE style is a much safer way of working and even though it has evolved over the years, WWE still prefers to not have the kind of matches that AEW usually does.

The matches in AEW remind us about what made us wrestling fans in the first place. They take us on journeys with highs and lows, and there isn't a feeling of sameness like there is in WWE. In a lot of ways, NXT provides this kind of excitement for sure, but RAW and SmackDown choose to usually play it safe and have extremely standard matches.

In so many ways, it may be why performers like Johnny Gargano have said that they're content to be in the NXT brand.
