Ok well, that's a weird hill to die on. But you do you. The reports were WWE didn’t even realize she worked for AEW they just wanted to show Adam Cole’s girlfriend because Cole took a dangerous bump and it added to the drama.AEW on the other hand clearly watches WWE. AEW:They don’t have enough time to utilize our talent. AEW:We do have enough time to talk about or copy WWE. By 'have enough time' you mean 'replace a crowd reaction shot they could have used anyone else for to show show her instead and then efficiently move on as planned to the rest of the segment with no time lost in the show' right? Because yeah they sure did squeeze that in to a space where it took nothing away from the rest of the show or robbed a talent of time. Because it was two seconds.

People who obsess over a joke like this, really can't be enjoying much.

I thought it was funny, and I don't mind when the companies zing each other when it's not some mean spirited crap.

This thread is a PSA not to take the AEW vs WWE mentality too seriously. Coming off like a whieboard conspiracy theorist over a literal two second gag that was shown in split screen during commercial is not something to get worked up about.

I thought it was a hilarious way to retake ownership of a petty and silly move by WWE.

It felt like an ineffectual way of diminishing a wrestler who works for the competition. Even if it was accidental, it's still fun to me that AEW made it a thing intentionally.

I don't believe either WWE or AEW had any spite in any of this.
WWE made a mistake they publicly said my bad for and AEW is having fun with it.
This "war" is far less serious than some make it out to be.

WWE did it 1st.They keep coming across so desperate to copy WWE its kinda sad. Did...what first? Film Britt Baker in the crowd? This is a really odd take. Since they are not actually copying anything at all we gotta scrape the barrel for reason. Did you see that AEW has stables? Just like the Undisputed Era.

To add to the weird arguement that this one-off joke seems to have caused. It was also during the commercial break on TNT so it wasn't even during an "essential" part of the broadcast.

Ok buddy. If you think a 2 second camera pan when Nyla was beating down Shanna that was meant as a good-natured joke of an otherwise awkward situation for Britt is somehow endemic of poor utilization of talent or copying WWE, I don't think the promotion is meant for you. The Bucks love poking fun at anything and WWE is the biggest ones ,that isnt gonna change ,specially when WWE cross overs first.

Kinda surprised no one's pointed out that Excalibur was wrong in using the present tense, since Adam Cole is dead and all.

They should do that same shot next time Orange Cassidy unleashes his hellacious flurry of kicks.
