It's telling that the best matches on WWE TV are the least "WWE" style matches.
I get that AEW can feel too much for people sometimes with the amount high spots and silly kickouts, but I also think the vast majority of wrestling fans have been exposed to that type of wrestling now, and enjoy bits of it.
So when WWE lean into it a bit more as they did with Penta v Roman it really works, and seems to get over well with the crowd.
Completely agree with @Supremothough, the 946 stuff was pretty shocking, I always hate how fake the explosions look when they try to burn stuff down, it would have been much better if they just smashed the car to bits Street Fighter style with their masks up 🙂
