Eric Bischoff is sounding the alarm for AEW, claiming that TNA, not WWE, is the real competition that AEW should be worried about.
During a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Bischoff gave TNA major props for its growing momentum, especially after its crossover with WWE, where NXT star Trick Williams defeated Joe Hendry to win the TNA World Championship.
Bischoff explained that TNAs recent surge is not just about WWEs involvement but also about the organic growth the company is seeing. He pointed out that AEW, which has been focused on WWE as its rival, should shift its attention to TNA before the smaller promotion gains even more ground.
Bischoff noted that a recent photo from a TNA show, possibly a pay-per-view or TV event, showcased an impressive crowd size that showed the companys growth.
He went on to say that AEW might be underestimating TNAs rise, suggesting that while AEW has its eyes on WWE, it could soon find itself outpaced by TNA if theyre not careful.
One major endorsement Bischoff referenced was a subtle but significant moment involving Shawn Michaels, a WWE legend, holding the TNA World Title. He emphasized how this kind of cross-promotion is a strong signal to fans.
According to Bischoff, this collaboration with WWE and TNAs rising momentum should have AEW worried, as its becoming more than just a side storyits a real challenge to AEWs position in the industry.
