>They're still trying to recover from it. AEW without Phil would be in a better place. Cody would likely still be there and the locker room would have not been turned into such a miserable place. The audience would also be growing (as it did before Phil's arrival). Darby, MJF, Wardlow, and Eddie would have been higher on the pecking order and none of their momentum would have been taken from them. Hangman's reign wouldn't have been dropped to the wayside and turned into an afterthought, and the locker room would still be peaceful. It also would have still felt like AEW and not WWElite, though that was also partly due to the huge amount of ex-NXT guys flooding the roster. It's truly insane how much damage Phil has done to AEW in such a short amount of time. But the worst thing? AEW wouldn't be infected with Phil's obnoxious fanbase and who have a pathological aversion to reality.
