During a recent interview with Sportskeeda, AEW producer Billy Gunn commented on the ongoing competition between AEW and WWE, why focusing on WWE won’t bring out the best in AEW, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the competition with AEW and WWE: “Do we really want to take them down? Is it better that we just have competition? I think that’s what made the Attitude Era and the thing with WCW and WWE good is that there was competition. If you don’t have any competition, then I feel, and these are my opinions, I feel that we thrive on competition.”
On why focusing on WWE won’t bring out the best in AEW: “The minute we try to start poking the bear or try to say we’re better than them, I feel that we’re not concentrating on the best that AEW can do. Like WWE is always going to be WWE. AEW’s going to be AEW. So let’s just be us. If our paths cross and it becomes something like that, let it happen naturally.”
