Is AEW Just Another WWE Afterthought? AEW Collision's latest episode, Fairway to Hell, is a clear attempt to compete with WWE Backlash. While PAC challenged Darby Allin for the World Championship in an impressive match, it feels like AEW is trying too hard to be relevant amidst WWE dominance.

Mark Davis winning the National Title? Just another predictable storyline that does little to distinguish AEW from its corporate sibling. Look at the numbers: WWE still owns the majority of wrestling's audience share and merchandising market.

AEW's efforts, no matter how creative or daring (like a golf-themed match), are still playing second fiddle. They're treading water in a sea of red ink that WWE doesn't even notice because they control every ship on the ocean. The real question is: Can AEW ever truly compete without becoming more like WWE?

Or will it always be stuck in the shadow, trying to catch up while being overshadowed by the behemoth next door? It's clear AEW needs a unique path forward, not another gimmick that mimics what already works for WWE. Who out there thinks AEW can break free of WWE's gravitational pull?

Let me know your theories. But be ready to back them up with more than just hype and hope.
