Once AEW gets their tv show going on TNT and starts to gain popularity, I see it as very likely that crowds at WWE shows could start chanting AEW. The crowds are very smarky these days. If it catches on. How will the WWE respond? Will they acknowledge it? Will they remove the chants from the audio? They already remove the shirts. There will likely be a rise in AEW shirts, signs, chants. How are they going to deal with this and does anyone else see it as likely? AEW claims to not be competition but by default they are. They are the only other wrestling company on a major TV network and they have some popular stars.

At the rate Vince is going even before this happens he's probably going to start doing shows without a live crowd since all they do is Boo his favorites like Roman and Charlotte anyway which causes him to pipe in fake cheers every time they do things on the replays so you'll probably do without a crowd eventually down the line by the time they get to be on television

They should introduce someone with a name that sounds like chanting A-E-Dub. Like Amy Dove. "Wow Corey, the fans really want Amy Dove to interfere in this 16th Roman vs Drew rematch for some reason!"

Probably the same thing they do with every chant/t-shirt that goes against their corporate directive:
- mute the crowd and replace it in post
- check people for t-shirts at the door and offer replacement shirts for those who do sneak them in (or remove them)
- ignore the chants and continue on their merry way
They've already demonstrated the ability to do this with post-Mania RAW, so, I guess "business as usual" is the answer to your question.

Vince: "Are you saying AEW, or EWWWW because our content is pathetic?"
Audience: .....
Vince: "lol, I broke them because both things are probably true."

Vince already has the crowd's money, he probably wouldn't give a damn.

announcers will just ignore it or pretend it's WWE related I mean, thats what they should do. Right? I doubt if an NXT chant starts in AEW that Excalibur and JR would say “This crowd, chanting for NXT because they hate our product!” |

I just imagined someone chanting that.
:,]its such an awful acronym. Doesnt flow at all. Then the actual name is as bad as Vince's "Alpha" brand.
I want them succeed, and fun wrestling is fun wrestling, but criminey they aren't good on brand establishment.
Edit:i skipped shane/miz. May have to find to hear it.

No matter what either company does, casual channel flippers aren't going to give a shit.
