You get lazy if you\u2019re all there is and everybody goes about their business. The end of the day, it\u2019ll make us better, and we\u2019ll all be better for it. All those things have forced us to be in a better place right now. Not that we wouldn\u2019t have gotten there anyway, but we had to do it quicker in some manner. That\u2019s an important piece of it, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As long as there aren\u2019t things hurting the business overall, I think any of that stuff is good,&#8221; said Triple H of competition. &#8220;If you\u2019re a 6-year-old kid, you turn on the TV, wrestling is on and you like it. Now you\u2019re caught up in it. Then you start sampling all of it. You get to where you\u2019re a huge fan. That\u2019s the money. There\u2019s room for everybody to do it. It\u2019s like saying the USFL or XFL is starting up and the NFL is panicking about market share. It\u2019s just going to increase people\u2019s love for football. If you love football that much, you\u2019ll watch all of the football, and it\u2019s great. But the NFL is not sweating that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the WWE flagship shows haven&#8217;t regularly gone head to head with AEW, Triple H&#8217;s own NXT did until April of 2021. AEW Dynamite regularly beat NXT in the ratings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/18\/former-womens-champion-alexa-bliss-reportedly-upset-with-creative\/\">Former women\u2019s champion reportedly upset with creative<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1400778777\"><div id=\"pwtor-3566958113\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Triple H says that competition with AEW is &#8220;great.&#8221; In an interview with The Athletic, Triple H spoke candidly about AEW and what it does for the wrestling business and WWE. &#8220;As far as the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/18\/triple-h-says-competition-with-aew-is-great\/\" title=\"Triple H says competition with AEW is &#8220;great&#8221;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":74173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[229,71],"class_list":["post-138000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_wwe","tag-triple-h","tag-wwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/01\/TripleH-ExecJoelTesch3x2_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138000"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138003,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138000\/revisions\/138003"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
