WWE is the largest wrestling promotion in the world, and there is a huge list of Superstars available.
However, when it comes to talking about how these Superstars are used in the company, a large number of the push-ups are the most experienced and the most sought after. could be a little older.
Talking about the WWE Royal Rumble on the Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer drew a comparison between the standard WWE roster used for the Royal Rumble, and the AEW roster, highlighting the huge age gap in the stars that WWE had television use.
He mentioned that the average age of WWE keepers in the recent Royal Rumble game for the men is 39, and the AEW age for their recent Battle Royal at 29. It should be noted that Edge, who won the 47-year-old Royal Rumble.
“It’s scary when you compare who’s on AEW television and how old they are, and who’s on WWE television and how old they are. The Royal Rumble – the average was in the Royal Rumble at 39, and the average in that AEW Battle Royal on Wednesday was 29. The Royal Rumble had two boys under 30, who were Otis and Dominik Mysterio, and who were in the ring for less than three minutes together. I mean just one after another, you got Jungle Boy who they are trying to make the star, MJF, who is one of the top stars, one of the main heels in the company. “
Comparison of WWE roster with AEW roster
Dave Meltzer went on to describe Top Flight and how they were only 19 and 21, and the Private Party was 23 and 26 years old. He said that even if they were in the AEW roster, they would not get access to the main roster in WWE, because of how long it takes to get stars to wrestle there. As a result, there may be an issue with youth representation on the main menu.
“They don’t have that element of youth on WWE television. You want a little bit of everything. Yeah, they may be green, but you want a little bit of everything.”
Meltzer said he had no faith in WWE’s Dominik Mysterio, while Otis was a man who had a hot run but was declining. At the same time, he put together Top Flight, Private Party, MJF, and others on an AEW roster that looked like they could easily become the biggest stars in the industry in 10 years. He also said that there were some older guards on the AEW roster as well, but that was not the case.
“Even though AEW has Sting, AEW has Eddie Kingston who is not young, Omega 37 who is not old. Jericho is 50, Daniels is 50, but Daniels is not pushed as a main man. his story and that gimmick of a 50-year-old man. That’s fine too, you just don’t want company full of them. “
It should be noted that, despite the age of many WWE Superstars, the potential of some of the stars on the main album cannot be disputed.
