AEW vs. WWE debates are nothing new but behind the scenes, it sounds like some people inside WWE might actually be siding with AEW. During a Self Made Session on March 17, 2026, Self Made Pro revealed how WWE talent and staff really feel about AEW when the cameras are off. When asked how many people in WWE would admit AEW is the better product right now, the answer made it clear theres a split internally. It was explained that while there are still decision-makers in WWE who downplay AEW and stick to the belief that their own product is superior, not everyone in the company sees it that way. But the more eye-opening part is that, according to the same report, there are also plenty of people inside WWE who feel the opposite and believe AEW is currently putting out the stronger product. That kind of split opinion lines up with earlier reports that WWE doesnt ignore AEW at all. In fact, the company reportedly has people whose job is to actively watch AEW programming and report back internally, while wrestlers across both companies continue to stay connected due to shared history. So while the fanbase rivalry between AEW and WWE stays loud online, the reality backstage looks a lot more complicated with some in WWE quietly giving credit to the competition.
