Paul Heyman has said he has no problem praising All Elite Wrestling as the promotion is a long way away from the success of WWE.
This week, Heyman confirmed that he signed a new deal with WWE in 2021 after returning to the company in 2012.
Speaking to Richard Deitsch on the Sports Media podcast, Heyman was happy to tout the success of AEW which he believes doesn’t compare to WWE:
“I have no problem putting AEW over if AEW does things that’s worth being put over. I don’t live in a bubble.
“With that in mind, and the spectacle that this show will be, and you combine that with the worldwide publicity that it’s going to garner and the fact that the entire industry is focused on what’s going to happen at WrestleMania and therefore what comes out of WrestleMania, I would argue the case that I could sit here and praise AEW all day long, they can’t match what we’re about to do [at WrestleMania].
“Until they are in a position to match what we do [at WrestleMania], I’m not that concerned with praising the competition because they are still a long way away from what we do and our level of success and our market dominance.”
Heyman added that he does watch AEW but watches as much wrestling as he can possibly get access to.
Paul Heyman will be in Roman Reigns’ corner when the Universal Champion faces WWE Champion Brock Lesnar this weekend at WrestleMania: Sunday.
