@@adamburke4738 TNA and AEW did work together at the start, even had Kenny Omega win their belt. But the major difference between what TNA did with AEW and WWE is that AEW only TOOK from TNA. They didn't get any push or benefit. I mean sure, Christian Cage got the TNA belt and dropped it back to TNA but still. I didn't see anything else from TNA on AEW besides Omega winning the belt. (I think he was still working hurt to be fair.)
@@retched I knew Omega had it during the belt collector phase and he dropped it to Christian it was Christian that dropped it to Josh Alexander. I just remember people saying the AEW/TNA partnership failed but never giving a reason. Personally, I feel like TNA is still getting the short end with WWE in that the partnership has been with NXT and none of NXT’s champions or even top stars have been at TNA, while TNA sent the women’s champion in Mamma Pump Jordynne Grace, an OG in Frankie Kazarian, and the rising sensation that Joe Hendry.
The Cody you’re all seeing did not start in AEW he honed his craft in ROH and then he solidified his American nightmare character in NJPW. It’s just when he started with AEW there were more eyes on him than before
Exactly. No one else is close. That's not necessarily a dig at any of the other promotions, WWE is just synonymous with wrestling for 99 percent of people
WWE doesn't compete with other wrestling promotions. WWE competes with everything else on television. Their biggest competitor is Monday Night Football.
Last night, Cole name checked Tama as being a founding member of the Bullet Club which was pretty awesome. Cody was also in the ring too. At one point, there needs to be a face off between, Finn, AJ , Cody and Tama... Tama has been through with all 3 of those guys
If aldis decides to come back from in ring competition. He's doing a great job as a GM. Suits him well in the future if he decides to hang up his boots, for sure he will have a position in WWE management for sure.
I love AEW. But I think they need to put this whole war behind them and start working towards a partnership because that would be amazing for wrestling
I mean, I agree there is no need to go to war, but competing is good. However, I'm tired of people acting like WWE/people weren't taking shots at AEW before they even aired on TV, and continue to do so regularly. Let's not just say one needs to stop and give the other a free pass.
Respect to Aldis. Why punch down because someone else is punching up when there’s no reason to punch down in the first place? The whole mentality of tribalism is toxic and pathetic that when wrestlers praise each other despite being in different locker rooms, it’s a nice moment immediately tainted by the tribalists. That being said, it isn’t helped when management in both companies are encouraging it.
@@tedjomuljono3052Yeah, they love Cody now that they can take credit for him. When he was setting himself on fire for their entertainment they hated him.
@@tedjomuljono3052That was after returning to WWE, before that, AEW fans booed him, coincidentally, the company declined when he left. This is also why it’s important for wrestlers (or at least people who know the ins and outs of the wrestling world) to run a company, here’s a few examples. The biggest issue with Vince McMahon ,is that he’s a business man at heart (if he has any), his booking was always centered around shock value and great spectacle, and while this worked INITIALLY, it eventually became formulaic and tiresome, this strategy isn’t very talent friendly either (look at how many people left in bad terms during this era, Vince relies on star power, but struggles to create new stars). Most of Vince’s success can be attributed to him being surrounded by people who could make his ideas more viable (if you look at any WWE success story, Vince is never the only mastermind behind them, it’s usually him and someone else). This is the same reason as to why the other Vince, Vince Russo, had a good reputation in WWF, but was terrible in WCW, in WCW, he had full control . Tony Khan is the complete opposite but just as flawed, he’s a fan at heart, so he books AEW like someone who plays WWE 2k, he hires talent to put them in fantasy matches that have as much stunts and senseless blood as possible. He has no knowledge of what makes those moments special, and doesn’t understand storytelling in wrestling, he puts people in matches and expects us to know who they are because of what they did in the indies. He’s also lacks authority and allows TOO MUCH creative freedom (Im not against the idea, Vince was too restrictive and that was a problem), he allowed CM Punk, his biggest star, to be pushed around, then was surprised when there was confrontation. My point (I’m done with the yapping) is that Triple H, Cody Rhodes and Shawn Michaels are so good at booking, because they can handle their fellow wrestler’s needs, they understand what the fans want while also knowing when they might be wrong, and can listen to the business side of things, while being able to turn them down.
No body hated Cody, not like you mean, we just wanted him to turn heel. And let’s not pretend WWE fans didn’t treat John Cena in a disgusting fashion back in the day.
Yeah, it was the fans that forced the dumbest stip onto him to never vie for a world title and it was the fans that made Homelander Cody keep pushing as a babyface... Oh. Wait.
WWE just signed a $5 Billion dollar deal with Netflix for RAW, WM Vegas, Indianapolis mega events, more international events, The Bloodline, Wyatt sicks, Cody, Roman, CM Punk The Rock, John Cena, LA Knight, Logan Paul, Günther, Drew, Judgement Day, Liv, Tiffany Straton, Jade, Bianca.... TNA partnership, hottest the company has ever been. WWE's only real competition was WCW. There are levels to this.
Also think it was incredibly foolish on AEWs part to go at them. There is plenty of market share to have a strong second promotion, but coming at WWE galvanized the WWE fans against AEW. Those WWE fans were natural customers for a wrestling product.
@@matthewfrohbieter1803 I'm a massive wrestling fan and a massive fan of nearly every guy that has left WWE for AEW and I still don't watch AEW. Good luck to them. If they can't pull me over, they most likely won't pull very many others over. The biggest problem being, I aint paying for cable or cable like services to watch their product. Put it on a streaming platform or network station and im 100% not paying 50+ bucks to watch your PPVs when I paid 20 bucks for an entire year of peacock (12+ PLEs)
Plus WWE is collaborating with NOAH, Marigold, TNA and GCW in crossover promotions. WWE is showing their willingness and interest in working with other wrestling promotions from across the globe. And with the recent news of the massive signing of Stephanie Vaquer, a talented Chilean female wrestler, who held Mult-Women’s Divisional Championship titles in CMLL /Latin and Stardom NJ promotions. WWE has entered the Latin/Americana market positioning the WWE Brand across the Latin/Americana wrestling industry. This move could potentially building new relationships with other Latin promotions and lead to a potential relationship with Triple A to bring in future house shows, crossover tours and/or a major PLE. The future is looking bright for WWE as it continues to expand their Global Network. In other news, with Giulia signing with WWE and WWE also signing “DELTA”, a top star talented Australian who held several championship titles are going to tear the roof off WWE Women’s Division. Hopefully WWE brings in Mid-Card title and IC title so Women’s 2.0 Evolution can begin.
I feel like MJF a the voice that WBD loves so they aren't going to punish AEW for anything he(or AEW asks) him to say. I'm here for it. Let them both take jabs at each other 😂 it gets people talking.
That's not really true. Your so called "GOAT" John cena himself said in this day and age everything is competition because everything is trying to get your attention. And I agree with him
@@muhammadHassan-kj1jyif WWE really considered AEWho to be legit competition, they'd put Raw or Smackdown on Wednesdays opposite Dynamite and end AEWho. The last 2 weeks, Dynamite couldn't even beat WWE's developmental show in the ratings. AEWho is NOT legit competition for WWE.
Tony Khan is so obsessed with WWE its crazy, like just stop trying to force this “war” and just focus on making good wrestling for the fans. And im saying this as a fan of AEW.
@@Requiem0139 Someone needs to keep him away from booking is what needs to happen. Could you imagine if someone like Paul Hayman was the booker with AEW‘s roster? that is something that could actually rival WWE, but unfortunately, it’s under the iron fist of Tony mark khan
So it's silly when AEW takes shots at WWE, but it's OK when Hunter and WWE do it? It's all stupid, irregardless of who does it. Let's not be hypocritical.
He gave a really quite level headed answer and of course, the media frames it as "They're silly" and puts a picture of Triple H poking an AEW bear.....
The first company that threw the first stone was HHH calling it a pissant company, which led to the hate from AEW. When you turn around and say you don't see them as a competition, then call them pissant.. that will rub anyone the wrong way lol
Nick Aldis has been a great GM. One of the better GMs we've had over the last few decades on WWE. He has an aura where he feels like he does has authority. He doesn't just get steamrolled over. He even put the bloodline in their place whenever they got too big for their shoes which was really refreshing to watch. A lot of credit to Paul Heyman for that as well for selling it as such. To go from smug and cocky to realizing he can't roll over Aldis as he did Adam Pearce. Having said that, Adam Pearce has been really good over the past few months as well.
Took me a while to get onboard the Nick Aldis train, but I have to say... I really enjoy his work on Smackdown. Both he and AP have really stepped up. They're both credible in their roles and help move the story along.
Bless for asking the question straight up and bless Aldis for not dancing around it while still giving an honest accursre answer. The idea there was ever a war here is silly. AEW only ever went head on with NXT, they won but it was still WWEs C show. They've really toned down the shots taken and the fact that Cody and to a lesser degree, Ethan Page have found success, there is a good indicator any bad blood has mostly passed and both sides get to do their own thing.
I remember when Kurt went back, they said he might have some ring rust as he hadn't set foot in a wrestling ring in over 10 years lol... RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEARLY?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!
Hopefully one day AEW can stop with this “war” in their minds and there be a professional relationship between the two like WWE has started doing with TNA, New Japan and etc. the Pro Wrestling War that should’ve been the last WWE vs. WCW, no reason to work against each other, work together make the business better for all.
"It's silly on their part". This ladies and gentlemen is why AEW will never be on the same par as 90s WCW was in competition with the the WWF now WWE. When the people on the other side of the aisle both inside and outside of management don't take you seriously, that should serve as a huge wakeup call.
I really hope Aldis goes back to wrestling again. I think HHH is wasting his talent as a GM. Hes an excellent worker with the promo skills to back it up. He's also only 37.
It's like that two year old kid who throws a tantrum because he wants to play with something you're using or sometimes even for no reason. As an adult, you don't give children the attention they crave if their way of garnering that attention is via a tantrum. You ignore the tanty throwing toddler and they quiet down on their own.
Tony Khan had no clue how great Cody was until he lost him. He had one of the top 5 superstars in wrestling working with him and he had a hard time letting him write/plan some of the matches. Cody knows more about wrestling than Khan and the Young Bucks combined.
I really think that the WWE is doing the fans a disservice, by keeping Aldis and Pearce as on screen GM's. I mean if they both enjoy what they're doing, fine. But I'd like to at least see a match between the two of them. I really think that Aldis will do great when (or if) he wrestles there. Pearce I can see doing a match here and there, but he is Punk's contemporary. Meaning that, (much like with Punk) he'd probably want to make what matches he's got left in him, mean something. Finally, if they are both "done" wrestling, they're still great on the mic. Edit: I also just checked, they do a lot of good backstage as well. So I guess what I should say, is that we should be happy to see them on screen in any capacity. They're giving to the next generation, what could be better.
What he states is true but… he was also literally in a war with wwe himself when he represented TNA as the world champion, the time TNA was literally trying to go head to head with them 😅
AEW is WCW 2.0, it's best for business for there to be competition, but not a monopoly. Best content for everyone is when they're trying to out do each other, just as long as no one wins the war.
Aldis is right They really r silly,they wanna compete and have war with WWE. Instead of that Tony Khan could simply Collab with triple h Like TNA is doing R8 now .. That will give them more success And us fans will get to see WWE superstars at AEW ppv and AEW stars in WWE ppv.. Just imagine Cena is having a mic segment And Kenny Omega interrupts him up 💀
I love AEW fans attacking WWE when AEW is full of former WWE wrestlers and, aside from MJF, TK is burying its own stars. Beat NXT is not the brag AEW really needs.
@@RedKingdom28 and now they're going to be bigger stars since more people will watch them and since NXT is going to free TV but hey lets forget that most current NXT talents are also college athletes that never went to the indies.
The funny part is when years ago, how AEW fans would scream like toddlers about how any and every wrestler would be booked better outside of WWE ... How is that going for most (nearly all) of them ex-WWE talent in AEW now?
That'd be like TNA in 2005 bragging about beating OVW in ratings, yeah it's a victory, but it's a small one. It'd be a big deal if AEW was beating RAW and SmackDown in the ratings, but they can't even go past a million when RAW and SmackDown do it every week
He has forgotten Triple H's "that pissant company" comment at the hall of fame. He got along with Cody and Bucks before AEW so he should know about all the ceases and desist WWE threw against them just because. Many people think that AEW started this back and forth because they don't remember or don't know about this guy's history with WWE.
Crazy AEW had a chance to get Aldis, for years. Just like Jacob Fatu. They didn't capitalize. Kinda the story of AEW. Not capitalizing on great opportunities.
Wwe is now ran by somebody more... not fan minded, but he is more aware of Internet type sh*t. So whilst Vince just pretended they werethe centre of the universe, HHH is wont for having fun at their expense (and believe me, with a lot of their fans, it is quite a substantial expense 😂)
I'm glad Aldis is getting an executive career that he couldn't get as a performer in WWE. You can trot him out in front of shareholders all day and he'll always say the right thing. Just a brilliant business move.

Hopefully one day AEW can stop with this “war” in their minds and there be a professional relationship between the two like WWE has started doing with TNA, New Japan and etc.
the Pro Wrestling War that should’ve been the last WWE vs. WCW, no reason to work against each other, work together make the business better for all.
Wwe doesn't have a relationship with njpw
Why would #1 company give a shit about #4?
#2 TNA #4
"It's silly on their part". This ladies and gentlemen is why AEW will never be on the same par as 90s WCW was in competition with the the WWF now WWE. When the people on the other side of the aisle both inside and outside of management don't take you seriously, that should serve as a huge wakeup call.
He didn't say "They're silly. He said what they are trying to do is silly. Small difference but still a difference.
I'm so happy that Magnus got his shot at the big time.
They named dropped ever place Cody wrestled except for AEW what’s the reason
Great answer. Nick Aldis is old school.
WWE isn’t competing with AEW plus (they don’t need to)AEW is competing with WWE
"You could've asked me about anything! You could've asked me about AEW!" - Sami Zayn
Man that’s Magnus lol
If “what the actual wrestlers themselves thought about tribalism” was a person.
Nick has been awesome.
I really hope Aldis goes back to wrestling again. I think HHH is wasting his talent as a GM.
Hes an excellent worker with the promo skills to back it up.
He's also only 37.
He's so matured
"Silly on their part" and "they're silly" are two different things. Don't twist words!
The poking part is a highlight here!
He didn’t say, “They’re silly.” That’s not how quotations work. You can’t just change the words. 🤦♂️
Wanna see Magnus back in the ring man 😢
This guy is the Law of Smackdown
Imagine if they all got alone. Some of the "dream" matches there could be
It's like that two year old kid who throws a tantrum because he wants to play with something you're using or sometimes even for no reason. As an adult, you don't give children the attention they crave if their way of garnering that attention is via a tantrum. You ignore the tanty throwing toddler and they quiet down on their own.
I consider this as jockying more than war. War is good for business, yet the fallout is one side is collateral damage, that is not the case here.
Tony Khan had no clue how great Cody was until he lost him. He had one of the top 5 superstars in wrestling working with him and he had a hard time letting him write/plan some of the matches. Cody knows more about wrestling than Khan and the Young Bucks combined.
I really think that the WWE is doing the fans a disservice, by keeping Aldis and Pearce as on screen GM's. I mean if they both enjoy what they're doing, fine. But I'd like to at least see a match between the two of them. I really think that Aldis will do great when (or if) he wrestles there. Pearce I can see doing a match here and there, but he is Punk's contemporary. Meaning that, (much like with Punk) he'd probably want to make what matches he's got left in him, mean something. Finally, if they are both "done" wrestling, they're still great on the mic.
Edit: I also just checked, they do a lot of good backstage as well. So I guess what I should say, is that we should be happy to see them on screen in any capacity. They're giving to the next generation, what could be better.
What he states is true but… he was also literally in a war with wwe himself when he represented TNA as the world champion, the time TNA was literally trying to go head to head with them 😅
Silly now yes but in the 90s it actually meant something between wwe an wcw XD
Smartest thing I've ever heard Aldis say.
Nick's shoulders are insane.
AEW is WCW 2.0, it's best for business for there to be competition, but not a monopoly. Best content for everyone is when they're trying to out do each other, just as long as no one wins the war.
Aldis is right
They really r silly,they wanna compete and have war with WWE.
Instead of that Tony Khan could simply Collab with triple h
Like TNA is doing R8 now ..
That will give them more success
And us fans will get to see WWE superstars at AEW ppv and
AEW stars in WWE ppv..
Just imagine
Cena is having a mic segment
And Kenny Omega interrupts him up 💀
You do know that wwe just started working with other promotions while aew has been doing it since the start of the company
Tony Clown's incompetence is the reason.
I love AEW fans attacking WWE when AEW is full of former WWE wrestlers and, aside from MJF, TK is burying its own stars. Beat NXT is not the brag AEW really needs.
and WWE is filled with ex ROH, NJPW talent, and now some AEW stars.
@@RedKingdom28 and now they're going to be bigger stars since more people will watch them and since NXT is going to free TV but hey lets forget that most current NXT talents are also college athletes that never went to the indies.
The funny part is when years ago, how AEW fans would scream like toddlers about how any and every wrestler would be booked better outside of WWE ... How is that going for most (nearly all) of them ex-WWE talent in AEW now?
@RedKingdom28 get lost skunk
That'd be like TNA in 2005 bragging about beating OVW in ratings, yeah it's a victory, but it's a small one. It'd be a big deal if AEW was beating RAW and SmackDown in the ratings, but they can't even go past a million when RAW and SmackDown do it every week
Didnt WWE do it first on a TV show during a Sami segment in, like, 2018-2019?
He has forgotten Triple H's "that pissant company" comment at the hall of fame.
He got along with Cody and Bucks before AEW so he should know about all the ceases and desist WWE threw against them just because.
Many people think that AEW started this back and forth because they don't remember or don't know about this guy's history with WWE.
If aew just locked in and don’t worry about wwe they could be massive plus it would probably open connections with wwe
Crazy AEW had a chance to get Aldis, for years. Just like Jacob Fatu. They didn't capitalize.
Kinda the story of AEW. Not capitalizing on great opportunities.
Saying AEW have been hostile and that WWE haven't been hostile is a flat out lie!
Anyone who thinks AEW is “coming at WWE” doesn’t watch AEW.
Didnt know Hugh Jackman was the gm of Smackdown 😂😂
As long as TK is still in control Aew will never improve
Wwe is now ran by somebody more... not fan minded, but he is more aware of Internet type sh*t. So whilst Vince just pretended they werethe centre of the universe, HHH is wont for having fun at their expense (and believe me, with a lot of their fans, it is quite a substantial expense 😂)
People need to stop acting like WWE doesn't throw shots either
Great answer
Nick Aldis is easily the best GM WWE has had since Teddy Long and Eric Bischoff.
I’d buy a bear wearing an MJF scarf NGL
I'm glad Aldis is getting an executive career that he couldn't get as a performer in WWE. You can trot him out in front of shareholders all day and he'll always say the right thing. Just a brilliant business move.
Nick a standup dude
Settle it at survivor series😂
I always felt this guy looked like hugh Jackman with lighter hair.
They already named checked AEW like in 2019
He ain’t cap
Alot of it isn't pot shots it's just references 🤷
So I guess when he was at AEW, he wasn't doing "A Whole Lotta Nothin'"
