While the wrestling fans have been seeing it as the first real competition WWE has had in decades, AEW Officials including Tony Khan and others have been maintaining that they are an alternative to the Biggest Wrestling Company in the World.
Being an alternative means that they will be doing things differently than WWE and it appears that this means there will be less comical segments on their show and more focus on in-ring action.
During his recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan discussed the more comical style of production and said their programs will be a serious, sports-based product:
“We’re going to provide, a serious, sport-based product with the best wrestling. Something you’re going to notice more and more in our shows is they’re going to take place in and around the ring. Like, we’re not going to go out of the arena, we’re not going to spend half the show backstage in dressing rooms, or backstage choreographed segments.
Continuing on the topic, Khan explained that there is plenty of time outside of the matches to focus on the storyline and funny sketches but he is really interested in focusing on wrestling when the bouts are taking place.
