Triple H On All Elite Wrestling: "It's Clearly Something That We'll Keep An Eye On"
The Game speaks about AEW...
Jan 24, 2019
In the grand scheme of things, the newly formed All Elite Wrestling will not be competition for WWE. However, we know that Vince McMahon doesn't like noisy neighbours and since officially forming on New Year's Day, AEW has certainly made a lot of noise by signing the likes of Chris Jericho and PAC.
Triple H recently took part in a conference call ahead of NXT TakeOver: Phoenix where he was asked about All Elite Wrestling. Here's what he had to say (thanks to
WrestlingIncfor the transcription):
"[AEW is] clearly something that we'll keep an eye on and clearly something that - they're out there doing their business. But we'll do what's right for our business - what's right for WWE. What we feel is right for our fans, the WWE Universe, our fan base, everybody in general, and what's right for us. They're all business decisions and we'll continue to monitor everything. And we say it all the time but it's the truth, it's not just a competitor like that, we compete against everything.
"And I know you've heard it said that in the business world today, when you're a content provider, you compete against everything, including sleep, including the internet and everything else.' Everybody has 1000 pulls on their time, on a daily basis. So you want to keep your eye on everything and try to be as relevant as possible at all times, on every front. We continue to monitor that like we monitor everything, and we'll continue to do what's best for business - for the WWE."
