The wrestling world has finally produced an alternative to toppling the monopoly of WWE in the name of AEW, and wrestling fans are already taking sides. Fans have been vocal about both companies praising their favorite brand’s pros and taunting their opponent’s flaws. However, this division in fans who vocally support one company over the other is slowly widening apart as days pass by. Former WWE presenter Renee Paquette recently stated that fans have been asking her to pick sides as her husband, Jon Moxley, is a VIP at AEW.

Renee, who is currently not working at WWE, is constantly nagged by fans to choose a side between WWE or AEW. Renee, who is married to Jon Moxley, is being asked to pick AEW by fans as her husband is one of the show’s top stars. But Renee, in her recent interview with Wrestling Inc, has asked fans to look at the bigger picture as both companies are showcasing great wrestling, and fans can watch both rather than picking one.

Renee added, “It does very much feel like you’re either ‘in’ or you’re ‘out,’ whether it’s WWE or AEW. Wrestling fans, they very much so want to take a side. They want it to be ‘us vs. them,’ WWE vs. AEW, however, you want to look at that.” Paquette further stated– “It seems like you’ve drawn your line in the sand, where you’re like, ‘I love this and hate this.’ I’m not like that!. It’s all wrestling; you can watch both. They’re all on different nights.”

Fans are longing for an Attitude Era reboot

Fans choosing sides and showing allegiance to the brand they love shows that having an alternative is always best for wrestling. The emergence and the surprise of AEW have certainly reached the ears of the bigwigs of WWE. Both companies are throwing in their tricks from their books to topple each other.

The emergence of AEW has certainly helped those fans who felt WWE treated them as customers rather than actual fans.
