Vince McMahon Says AEW Is Not Same Level Of Competition As WCW (Photo Credit: WWE) WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon does not see AEW as competition in the same way he once viewed WCW. Vince was asked about AEW during today’s WWE Q2 2021 earnings call with investors. The caller noted that AEW seems to be making significant investments with their roster, and they are gaining in viewership, especially in the 18-49 key demographic. He asked Vince how WWE currently views AEW as competition, and if he feels WWE needs to counter AEW’s investments with their own additional roster investments, seeing as how WWE and AEW could be competing for media rights in the future, or if this is a “rising tides lift all boats” type of situation like there was back in the day with WCW.
