>>16799109it would obviously be completely worth it for WWE, if they could get away with it. WWE working with them now is only going to build them up and increase their value, so it'd be more expensive to purchase them in the future.
big problem i see would be monopoly or antitrust laws kicking in and preventing the merger. AEW being the in-between promotion could give WWE something to point at to say "we're just acquiring a much smaller promotion than ours that wasn't even in competition, there is our actual competitor" (i know some people on here will take issue with that). maybe that'd be enough? i don't know.
i'm unsure how TNA's suits would feel about it - i have no fucking clue how AXS makes any money when TNA is the biggest thing on the network and they're lucky to get to 30k viewers. the wrestlers must work for pennies because prior to the fed working with them last year, there was nothing going on for TNA.
