What if AEW starts a new Monday Night War?

#2 The first year tells the tale

How Cody Rhodes and AEW do in their first year will be very telling.

The Monday Night War between WCW and WWE lasted for over five years, affording time for the tides to change between the two companies before WWE emerged a decisive victor. The head to head competition between Impact and WWE lasted a much shorter period of time, grounded in the fact that WWE won the ratings war so decisively every time out.

If All Elite Wrestling were to go up against WWE on Monday nights, the first year may well tell the tale. As a new promotion, if they can’t at least prove themselves as competitive with WWE, it’s likely that the network will move their show out of direct completion if not cancel it outright.
