#3 Wins and losses need to mean more
Since AEW launched on New Year’s Day, the most intriguing thing to come out of their business plan is the additional focus that they will place on wins and losses. It appears as though their storylines will have more of a sports approach, with the wrestlers who rack up the most victories having a better chance of competing for titles.

In WWE, should wins and losses mean everything? No – they are all about sports entertainment, after all – but it is alarming when Superstars like The IIconics lose almost every match for a year and then they suddenly become Women’s Tag Team champions, or when Jinder Mahal loses year after year and then he becomes WWE champion, or when Rusev loses 18 pay-per-view matches in a row, setting a new record, and it is not even used as part of a storyline.
Looking at the WWE roster, there are so many people who are being prevented from becoming elite Superstars because they are part of a system where everybody defeats everybody and only a select few make it to that next level.
If there is more of a focus on who actually wins matches, perhaps fans will be more invested in the outcomes of individual matches and storylines.
