Across the bow? There are several wrestling promotions throughout the world but WWE has been on top of the heap for a very long time now. The promotion is the biggest and most powerful in the world but they are not alone. In the last few years, a new promotion has sprung up in the United States in the form of AEW and established a rather nice foothold. Now WWE may be taking a bit of a shot at them, almost in person.

The Kia Center in Orlando, Florida has announced that WWE will be holding a live event in the venue on December 28. This will be the same night as AEW World’s End, which will be held in the same city on the same night at the Addition Financial Arena. There is nothing to indicate that WWE booked the venue to counteract World’s End or if it is just a big coincidence.

Opinion: I’m not sure if this is something that WWE did on purpose, but it certainly isn’t something that is going to go over well for AEW. Two promotions running the same cities on the same night is certainly not unheard of, but there is a good chance that WWE is going to draw some fans away from AEW in the process. That might not be on purpose, but it isn’t going to help things at all.
