5 things AEW needs to do to defeat WWE

#4 Slow things down

Beat him at his own game.

This may be a more nuanced point, but it is still every bit as important. If AEW truly want to defeat the WWE, they need to ask themselves what the WWE is currently failing to give its fans, and make sure they are the ones to supply it.

True, this list is growing in length by the day, but something I think most fans agree on is that WWE hasn't been able to provide that consistency and level-headed booking we all used to know for quite some time now.

It's not difficult to understand why nobody has truly been able to supplant John Cena as the number one guy in the business - there are seemingly plenty of potential candidates, but if they are not given the time and space to reach that summit, we will forever be left with this endless cycle of short-lived pushes and untapped potential.

AEW have the luxury of taking a step back and plotting out their immediate future in a way Vince is no longer able. With the constant demands of TV deals, advertisers, and a bloated roster, the WWE must feel like they are treading water the majority of the time.

AEW should be in no hurry to reach these levels, and instead gradually build themselves from the bottom up.

For instance, they need to decide which individuals are likely to shine brightest for them and put in the time and effort to draw out their rise to the top with care and precision.
