If Cena did the part time schedule at AEW and broke the record, how would that turn out? Would the wwe be salty at him? Would it be a game changer for AEW?

Not really. If we’re counting indy belts as world titles, Cena has already passed Flair since he won the OVW title as Prototype

Also, with all the partnerships they seem to be making all over the globe, I'm willing to bet that their title will have every bit, if not more claim to being considered a world title. |

I doubt Cena would leave unless there was a really horrible scandal in WWE

What if AEW gives Cody the title 26 times to put him over as the GOAT?! I don't intend to sound like an asshole, and I apologize if it comes off that way. However, I think too many people are putting the cart before the horse with this new promotion. Let them have a few shows and get some actual title belts made before discussing if their world title is an indy title or an actual title. So far, they are showing promise, but this is not a quick or easy process and I think that people should respect that process.
Don't get me wrong; I want AEW to be as successful as anyone as I like Cody and the Bucks, and I feel that wrestling needs more variety and competition. I just think that people are setting themselves up for massive disappointment by thinking they will be on par with WWE on day one because this promotion will have normal growing pains.

I believe that it's got to be more than "partnerships with international promotions" to be recognized as a true "world title". When the title gets defended on foreign soil against foreign talent, then it'll be elevated to that status. Point is moot anyways, I believe Cena would never turn his back on the WWE. |

Truth be told isn't Cena the sort of long time WWE guy that AEW is theoretically supposed to be opposed to in the first place?

That would never happen. Cena is a company guy. He’s a made guy there. He’s not going anywhere. A lot of WWE talent wouldn’t consider leaving for such a risky venture like AEW. Jericho can crow about getting paid but he’s not the type of guy that wants to have a full time job in wrestling. A lot of younger guys wouldn’t take the chance of jumping to have this promotion fall apart and then WWE has no interest in taking them back for a few years. Then they’re stuck grinding it out on the indies until WWE gives them another chance, if they do at all.

Their thing is more personal freedom for the wrestlers, and Cena's plenty free, as one of the lucky few. |

I understand that. But with partnerships rumored with AAA, NJPW, OWE etc., not to mention plenty of European indies who I'm sure will be glad to jump on board, do you really think it's going to be all that long before the titles start being defended in those places? WWE goes a few places out of the country a year, but I don't think it's very far out of the question for AEW to be running shows outside the US on a fairly consistent basis pretty quickly, and in more countries than WWE on average. |

I hope the company does succeed to the point where it does happen because I want a company able to compete with the WWE, competition does push everyone to be at their best. I just think that it'll take time... gotta walk before you run, right? I just don't want it to be another Super World of Sport, which burned brightly before it fizzled out... they didn't even establish a heavyweight title, and they had a deal with the WWF. |

I doubt Cena would leave unless there was a really horrible scandal in WWE I don't think it's impossible, actually. He's clearly moving away from wrestling as more than a side gig between his Hollywood work, and crap like Crown Jewel has shown that he'll ditch WWE if they're going to hurt his mainstream appeal. Normally I'd expect Cena to keep doing any part-time appearances or nostalgia returns through WWE, but if their idea of a high-profile program for him is, say, a Wrestlemania match against a white supremacist, I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to take his services elsewhere. |

If the AEW title counts as World Title then Flair is above 16 times world champion

Unless daddy Khan gets involved, no way AEW can afford Cena.
