Bingo. The idea of AEW poses a threat. Billionaires and TV networks still pose that threat. But WWE ended up firing a bunch of talent they initially signed to bigger deals than they normally would when AEW was exposed as nothing more than nuisance and the embodiment of “the grass isn’t always greener.”
I disagree that Netflix has been bad for them. And I think there are wrestling fans that aren’t back to watching current weekly wrestling. WWE have set the wheels in motion with things like the WCW Vault. But bringing back certain fans is going to take time or be nearly impossible.
AEW has reached its maximum appeal, in my opinion. There doesn’t seem to be a significant YouTube appetite for it, so streaming isn’t great for them.
