Bobby Lashley has been a top star in both WWE and AEW. So it’s easy for him to point out the differences between the two companies.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Bobby Lashley was a recent guest on WFAA Dallas. When asked about the differences working for WWE and AEW, Lashley spoke about the creative input he has in AEW and took a moment to slam those who act like jumping from one company to another is a bad thing.
“I think right off the bat, I know that the critics try to keep AEW down because anytime they talk about a WWE guy going over. They act like it’s a bad thing,” Bobby Lashley said. “I keep trying to tell them, I am not a WWE wrestler, I am not an AEW wrestler, I am a wrestler. I wrestled for WWE for a good portion of my career, now I’m a wrestler for AEW. That’s all you need to know me by.
“Another thing with AEW, you have a little bit more creative input. I think WWE, they had their agenda and what they wanted to do. And you had to stay on course with what they were doing. I think with AEW, Tony Khan gives these guys an opportunity to voice their opinion, to kind of run their stories the way they would like to, and they have some say in it. Of course, he’s the final say, so if he says no, no it is. But he gives these guys an opportunity to kinda hear their voice a little bit more and make changes accordingly.” [H/T: Fightful]
