The All Elite Wrestling roster is loaded at the moment, and many of the talents on the roster have decided to band together to form factions. At times the approach has proved that there is strength in numbers, but some people have criticized AEW for having too many factions.
During a recent interview with TV Insider Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks addressed the criticism, and he talked about why having more factions makes it easier for the company to book angles.
“New Japan Pro Wrestling has been booking factions for more than 40 years, and they’re still around. I see the argument, but I think North American fans have never seen this many at one time. They are used to one, two, or three stables in a company.
It’s easier to book angles. It’s easy to get more people involved with different groups. If you’re not aligned in a stable, you’re alone, and that’s hard to book sometimes. That’s why we have a lot of factions. It has clearly worked.”
