WWE Makes Big Play to Counter AEW

While it’s not the historic heated rivalry that defined the late 1990’s, WWE is still making sure they battle their top competitor. During the Attitude Era WWE weathered to storm that was WCW who did everything from counter-programming, to signing away talent, and even revealing the results live on air as WWE’s taped broadcasts were set to air moments later. Ultimately, the Vince McMahon-led WWE vanquished WCW and eventually acquired them following WCW’s epic downfall, but a few decades later WWE’s biggest rival is AEW and with their deep pockets WWE is less likely to beat them into submission.
