Brian Cage Says AEW’s In-Ring Product Is Second-To-None

Brian Cage says AEW has the best wrestling product going right now.

One of the major debates going on in the wrestling community right now revolves around the in-ring product that the major promotions show off. In terms of bell-to-bell, it’s fair to say that AEW put more of a focus on having strong matches as part of their weekly shows, contributing to their momentum sinde beginning of 2026. Now, one particular talent has emphasised the success of their in-ring product.

In a chat with The Smoothvega Podcast, Brian Cage made his stance clear that AEW has the best in-ring product.

“[AEW’s in-ring product] is second to none. You take any WWE pay-per-view, not even trying to throw shade at WWE, any pay-per-view of theirs and throw any pay-per-view of ours against theirs, and ours smashes theirs.”

-Brian Cage

While that might sound like bias at first, since Cage works with AEW, it appears to reflect the two promotions respective approaches in recent times. Just a week after All Elite Wrestling travelled to the UK to put on All In: London, WWE put on a special Sunday Night’s Main Event which featured just five matches, something which has become the norm among their Premium Live Events and TV specials.

While the presentation of WWE and AEW are contrasting, they each attract their own audience and cater to different fans. Regardless, the promotions remain at loggerheads, and a recent report has revealed that WWE intentionally chose the start time of Worlds Collide to clash with AEW’s All Out.
