WWE Putting Clauses In Contracts Preventing AEW From Booking Venues Around The Time WWE Do

WWE are looking to push AEW away from their market when they come to an area.

When WWE come to an area for a house show, it is a big deal for a little while and if another event were to happen there in the same month or so, the other event would be more successful due to it.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that WWE put a clause in their contracts that prohibits venues from hosting AEW events.

There is an interesting note that in arenas that do rent to both AEW and WWE, WWE has put clauses in its deals that AEW can’t run a certain number of weeks before or after the WWE show, and also that AEW and the arena can’t announce the show or sell tickets until after the WWE show has taken place

We will have to wait and see how this tactic will continue to happen, but for now WWE are doing everything in their power to handicap AEW’s venues.
