This is the thing that struck me, and I glad I'm not alone in seeing it. WWE is now booking and storytelling very similar to AEW, even including a higher emphasis on longer match times per show.
I can't help but find it funny how the people who crapped on AEW (on twitter, wrestling sites, and elsewhere) for this, claiming casuals don't want this in a wrestling show, are now loving it being done in the WWE. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the WWE should not improve their product, but I always find the fanboy hypocrisy hilarious.
Regardless if this can lead to a stronger industry, something close to what we saw during the Monday Night Wars, great. Competition is good in any industry.
