Speaking on his podcast, 83 Weeks, Bischoff said AEW has ample momentum on its side thanks to all the latest developments, most notably Punk’s debut. He added that people in Tony Khan’s promotion need to keep working in the same way to become a legitimate threat to WWE’s monopoly in the wrestling business.
Eric Bischoff further said that WWE’s foothold over international markets puts them in a stronger position than AEW.
However, he added that Tony Khan’s promotion has a very high buzz domestically and could soon close the gap in the overseas markets with their distribution deals.
Eric Bischoff had major praise for CM Punk’s AEW debut
Not too long ago, Eric Bischoff heaped praise on CM Punk’s AEW debut and stated the latter’s game-changing arrival had generated a level of buzz for the pro wrestling industry he hadn’t seen in years.
Furthermore, Bischoff explained how Punk joining AEW could help WWE in the long term.
The former RAW General Manager stated that WWE had been complacent for quite some time now. He felt CM Punk’s debut for AEW could force Vince McMahon’s company to step up its game.
