What's Happening?
AEW star Will Ospreay took to Instagram to mock WWE's Wrestlepalooza event by sharing a photo of Ben & Jerry's Scoop-apalooza ice cream with the caption, 'What a s--t name.' This post comes as both AEW and WWE are set to host major events on the same day, with AEW's All Out in Toronto and WWE's Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis. Wrestlepalooza is notable for being the first WWE event to stream live on ESPN Unlimited, featuring a high-profile match between Brock Lesnar and John Cena. Ospreay, who recently underwent neck surgery, will not participate in AEW's event.
Why It's Important?
The rivalry between AEW and WWE is intensifying as both companies vie for viewership and market share in the professional wrestling industry. Ospreay's public jab at WWE highlights the competitive nature of the industry and the strategic moves by both companies to capture audience attention. WWE's partnership with ESPN marks a significant expansion in its streaming capabilities, potentially increasing its reach. Meanwhile, AEW continues to build its brand and fanbase under Tony Khan's leadership, despite Ospreay's absence due to injury.
What's Next?
As AEW and WWE continue to compete, fans can expect more strategic moves and possibly more public exchanges between the two companies. WWE's partnership with ESPN could lead to further collaborations, while AEW may seek to capitalize on its growing popularity by expanding its event offerings and talent roster.
