WWE has no issue in separating itself from the type of product AEW presents on a weekly basis. In a new article from the Toronto Star, WWE released an exclusive quote being compared to All Elite Wrestling and took a few shots regarding the women’s tag team street fight AEW had featuring Penelope Ford, The Bunny, Tay Conti and Anna Jay.
“If you look at the gory self-mutilation that bloodied several women in the December 31 event on TNT, it quickly becomes clear that these are very different businesses,” the statement said. “We had an edgier product in the ‘Attitude’ era and in a 2022 world, we don’t believe that type of dangerous and brutal display is appealing to network partners, sponsors, venues, children, or the general public as a whole.”
Vince McMahon initially took a similar shot at AEW during a quarterly conference call when he called Tony Khan’s company “blood and guts.”
