Many comparisons have been made to highlight the differences between AEW and WWE. Darby Allin famously said WWE is Taylor Swift and AEW is Slayer.
Swerve Strickland has his own comparison, but explains how fans can still enjoy both.
"It's almost like you get the big box offices movies and all that stuff over there, but over there you don't get green screen, you don't get wires. Can you friggin act? That's what AEW is. You have to act in order to perform in our films. We're A24. The performances and acting have to be pristine. You can enjoy both and both are successful. That's the beauty of it," Swerve said to Bootleg Kev.
Kev noted that AEW is Kendrick Lamar and WWE is Drake, a comparison brought up by Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely. Swerve said that AEW would be TDE in that case.
Kev also made the comparison that AEW is The Wire and WWE is Chicago Fire.
Elsewhere during the interview, Swerve commented on Travis Scott's slap on Cody Rhodes. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
