Kurt Angle comments on the state of AEW.
AEW has emerged as a challenger brand since its inception in 2019 and has topped WWE in some instances, including holding an event, AEW All In, with the highest paid attendance for a wrestling show ever.
Speaking on the Grue Rume Show, Kurt Angle was asked about the emergence of AEW.
"It's crazy because fans pick sides. They pick who their favorite is. WWE is still in the lead, I think they'll always be in the lead, don't get me wrong, AEW is doing great, they've done pretty well in ratings from time to time and been close to beating WWE in ratings at certain points. The WWE is just a monster. They are a company worth $9 billion. When you have that kind of money behind you, it's hard to compete with. Don't get me wrong, Tony Kahn has money too, but not WWE-type money," said Angle.
WWE was valued at $9.3 billion after selling to Endeavor in April. Shad Khan, Tony's father, is worth $12 billion.
Angle's new documentary "Angle" premiered on Peacock on September 2.
