There’s a growing negative sentiment toward the largest promotion in professional wrestling. While AEW is in a great place as the second-place promotion in professional wrestling, driving change is not something the company can do on its own. For example, AEW’s ticket pricing structure is putting the company in the position to be an easier access point for wrestling fans than WWE. That shouldn’t be seen as just an attack on AEW, but the larger independent wrestling industry. Those who were familiar with its business practices in the UFC knew that this would not be a good move for professional wrestling.
