However, that’s not the end of the problems for WWE as former world champion and AEW star Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) has again hit out at the company.

While speaking about AEW vs WWE, Moxley took the opportunity to target the grueling travel schedule of the company while calling it ‘stupid’.

“I think everybody is going to start doing better right now,” Moxley said. “We’re seeing wrestlers get more money from WWE because they’re trying to lock everybody down, which is great. It should have been like that all along!”

“I think [WWE is] gonna start reducing their schedule, too,” Moxley continued.

“Which is good because their (WWE) schedule is stupid. It makes no sense. So, I think you’re going to see a better quality of life for guys in the competition, so to speak, just because of the existence of AEW. There are guys in Japan that I know who are getting raises, that are under contract, don’t even want to come here, but just as a sign of good faith for literally the entire industry all over the world benefiting from the fact that now there’s a viable alternative.”

“Once we hit ten o’clock and we got two hours in the can the other night and we’re like, ‘We did it! High five!’ Now we got the ratings out, there is a viable alternative. This is real, this actually happened.”

Compared to WWE, AEW is going to have a much lighter schedule with fewer live events and weekly shows.

WWE has been in hot waters recently after the fan backlash to the Hell in a Cell PPV. Twitter has been flooded by angry reactions by fans towards the result of the main event between ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins. A Hell in a Cell match got disqualified after Rollins smashed a sledgehammer on the head of a fallen Wyatt.
