>>6634845Christian had nothing to do with ratings. I like the guy but he's never going to be that guy, although pretty much no one is these days. Unsurprisingly, AEW got pretty stale once more and more WWE guys came in. It really did seem like AEW wasn't going to be yet another WWE refugee centre but it has slowly creeped in more and more as time as went on. Look how many people who were with AEW in the beginning have either been dropped or been left to float around doing absolutely nothing just so someone like punk can come in and slop all over matches. In the beginning they were doing the right thing by having former WWE guys basically be enhancements who got a quick run but these days the upper card is more and more WWE guys.
