Renee believes that AEW had a better year compared to WWE. She then elaborated on the differences in detail. She heaped praise on her former colleagues and top superstars, admitting that they create extraordinary moments and connect with the fans in a special manner.
However, Renee explained why she would still give an edge to AEW in this comparison. She was quoted as saying:
"But I think being able to see AEW come in and then like truly disrupt that space and really see people like my husband, for example. We saw him move over from WWE to AEW. Now seeing Keith Lee just jump over there, CM Punk is there, and we now have Jay White at AEW, so there are just so many different names in different opportunities for people to be there. Also, on the other side, some of the greener talent that has come in has grown leaps and bounds."
Renee also went on to talk about the likes of Tay Conti, Sammy Guevara, and MJF, crediting them for carving out their own niche in the pro-wrestling world. She also mentioned potential flaws in AEW but still asserted its superiority as a professional wrestling promotion.
"I feel like they are more of that homegrown talent within AEW. And it is really cool to see them all thriving. With a new company, of course, there are things, there are going to be some hiccups, there are going to be some roadblocks along the way. Not saying that everything is perfect, but I think in terms of opportunity and in terms of people having and a show just being professional wrestling, it's AEW," she concluded.
