Booker T Says AEW Competition Could Push WWE To Step Up In The Ring

TLDR

Booker T stated on his Hall of Fame podcast that AEW competition could push WWE to step up in the ring, comparing the current situation to how WCW's rise forced WWE to become sharper during the Monday Night War. The WWE Hall of Famer explained that WCW made WWE "a whole lot better" because stars like The Undertaker, Steve Austin, The Rock and Kane had to come together under pressure and deliver something special every Monday night. Booker T emphasized that AEW is giving fans a different in-ring product on pay-per-views, and believes the competition between the companies will play out inside the ring rather than online, stating "you do always run faster when someone's chasing you."
