Dustin Rhodes Urges Fans to Stop the Hate Toward AEW – Dustin Rhodes, a cornerstone of AEW since its inception in 2019, recently addressed negativity within the wrestling fanbase amidst the company’s ongoing challenges. AEW has faced declining ratings, attendance, and overall interest this year, sparking conversations about its place in the industry. Despite these setbacks, many argue that AEW remains a vital alternative to WWE, providing opportunities for wrestlers, staff, and fans who seek something different in professional wrestling.
Rhodes, who serves as both a performer and coach in AEW, took to Twitter to share his perspective and encourage fans to embrace positivity. He wrote:
“Here’s a thought…….Just enjoy Wrestling. Please stop the constant attacking and vitriol towards us. We have the most passionate wrestlers in the world. We do this for you. #IAmWithAEW.”
AEW emerged as a fresh option for wrestling fans in 2019, offering a product distinct from WWE’s style at a time when many fans expressed frustration with WWE’s creative direction. The promotion experienced rapid growth, fueled by a passionate fanbase and its commitment to showcasing diverse talents. However, WWE’s resurgence under Triple H’s creative leadership beginning in 2022 has created a competitive environment, leading some fans to compare the two companies critically.
Rhodes’ message reflects the sentiment shared by many in the industry: a call for unity among fans and appreciation for the wrestlers who dedicate themselves to entertaining audiences. With AEW continuing to deliver innovative matches and storylines, Rhodes hopes to remind fans of the shared love for wrestling that binds the community together.
AEW’s challenges this year may test its resilience, but its role as an alternative to WWE remains crucial to the broader wrestling landscape.
