They’re beating WWE’s C-show. That WWE has, and still does, use their A-show talent on. Some people definitely over-hype that fact but I think you’re under-hyping it. It’s pretty much the best start that could be expected.

And I’m not even saying that’s as much praise of AEW as it is damning on WWE’s part. Putting their A-show stars on a primetime version of Velocity in the early 2000s and making them “Velocity champions” would have led to Velocity smoking any new competition. They’ve lost that luxury. That’s a pretty big deal in the grand scheme of things.
