The absolute best thing for everyone, from the wrestlers to the fans, particularly ardent fans, and particularly WWE fans, is for AEW to hit the ground running and become a resounding success.

The only reason WWE went so hard to get these guys is because they pose a pretty significant threat to create genuine competition.

All WWE really wants to do is hoard talent, so that they can continue to go about their business without fear of significant talent jumping ship to feed a competitor.

That's it.

AEW snagging one of the hottest names to rise in the last decade while he's still in his prime is a great way to ensure that happens, and we've already seen some of those ramifications in WWE. If they're forced to actually compete, they may actually improve their current offering.

AEW may be the next WCW, or the next Impact, but everyone who takes enjoyment from this industry should be pulling not just for AEW to snag every free agent within their reach, but also for major WWE names to jump ship as soon as they can, because direct competition is the only real way to get the creative juices moving in WWE.
