JBL Doesn't Believe AEW & WWE Should Run Head-To-Head, Sheamus Talks Creating Bangers

Yesterday at 06:29 PM

JBL believes AEW shouldn’t run TV shows opposite WWE programming.

At times, AEW Collision ends up running head-to-head with WWE pay-pay-view events or special events, such as WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. This will be the case this Saturday.

During the latest edition of the “Something to Wrestle” podcast, John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) was asked whether AEW should move their shows from time to time. He said,

“I’d move it. This is not WCW. You don’t have Goldberg, you don’t have Hogan. No offense, [AEW has] some great stars. Kenny, Omega, [Jon] Moxley, Cope/Edge/Adam Copeland, you got some great stars, but WWE is the machine. WWE is, by far, the 800-pound gorilla. It’s not equal competition, because WWE is so much bigger. I would move it, absolutely.”

During a recent appearance on “The Masked Man Show,” WWE Superstar Sheamus commented on his mentality for creating banger matchups.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On his mentality for creating "bangers": "I'd definitely like a bit more time to talk, don't get me wrong. I don't remember when my last in-ring interview was. I miss doing them because I miss interacting live with the crowd. But yeah, everyone knows right now, when they hear my music coming out for a match, they know it's going to be physical. They going it's going to be hard-hitting, and they know it's not gonna be pretty. But I feel like that puts me in my own little niche. It sets me apart from everybody else."

On the importance of physicality in his matches: "I always thought I'm never going to be a high flyer or any of that stuff, but for me, it's all about the physicality. I've always been very, very physical. There's people, even in my early career in FCW, that would complain about me being too stiff in the ring and this and that, but I've always been proud of the fact that I will give it, but I also will take it, and that's what I expect in there."
