There is a big bunch of fans who aren't fans of this tactic, but it is here to stay. What those fans need to understand here is the fact that whenever AEW mentions WWE, it ends up generating some buzz that turns heads around. Cody's throne-breaker entrance at Double Or Nothing was dubbed as being cringe-worthy by many fans, but it ended up becoming one of the most memorable moments from the show.
Things escalated to such an extent that WWE actually let Sami Zayn mention AEW on Monday Night Raw. That single mention must've made lots of unaware folks go and check out AEW on the web, and that's exactly what AEW's goal is. As we move ahead, AEW and WWE are bound to take subtle jibes at each other, and that would be nothing but beneficial for AEW's future shows.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
