The wrestling landscape has certainly changed quite a bit over the last few years due to the emergence of AEW, and while some people have downplayed the idea of a war between AEW and WWE others have made it clear what side of the fence they stand on.
Renee Paquette parted ways with WWE last year following SummerSlam, and her husband Jon Moxley currently works for AEW. During an interview with Wrestling Inc. Renee noted that some fans want it to be “us vs. them” when it comes to AEW and WWE.
“It does very much feel like you’re either ‘in’ or you’re ‘out,’ whether it’s WWE or AEW. Wrestling fans, they very much so want to take a side. They want it to be ‘us vs. them,’ WWE vs. AEW, however you want to look at that.”
The former WWE Raw commentator also noted that there’s no ill will between her and WWE, and she encouraged fans to be open to the idea of enjoying both brands.
“It’s all wrestling; you can watch both. They’re all on different nights. You can enjoy all of it and be happy there’s more wrestling to enjoy, and that there’s different styles to enjoy, different performers. There’s so much more to really sink your teeth into, and I think it’s really great for everybody.”
