AEW and WWE have been rivals for several years, and recently WWE has been scheduling events on the same days as AEW shows, sometimes even overlapping entirely. This trend is expected to continue, with WWE planning at least two more events this year that will directly clash with AEW’s schedule.
Brian Alvarez mentioned on Wrestling Observer Live that he has heard of at least two upcoming occasions during long weekends where WWE and AEW will go head-to-head in event scheduling.
This comes after WWE set its main event on July 12th, coinciding with AEW’s All: Texas event at Globe Life Field in Texas. WWE also arranged The Great American Bash on the same day at State Farm Arena, signaling their intent to persist with this scheduling conflict.
It’s evident that WWE views AEW as significant competition and is willing to hold events simultaneously to challenge them. However, AEW’s president, Tony Khan, has stated that he won’t back down and remains confident in AEW’s ability to compete with WWE. Fans will be watching closely to see how AEW responds to WWE’s aggressive scheduling moves this year.
