Seth Rollins is a bonafide WWE guy, and in the past, has defended the company from others, including those in AEW. While WWE and AEW no-longer go head-to-head in the Wednesday Night Wars, Rollins\' recent comments about the compeition has caught a lot of attention.
During Sirius XM Sports, Rollins was asked to imagine a blockbuster trade between WWE and AEW—similar to the shocking NBA deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. Knowing his response would make \"some headlines,\" Rollins argued that WWE talent operate on a different level to those in AEW.
You’ll make some headlines with this one. I don’t think there is anybody in AEW that’s on that level.\

Rollins later added that John Cena is the LeBron James of WWE, and if a trade had to be made, he\'d switch John for AEW\'s MJF. This caught the attention of the former AEW World Champion, who Rollins described as like Luka Doncic.

While MJF had teased joining WWE in the past, he re-signed with AEW in 2022, ensuring many more years as part of the Elite roster. Speaking to Fox 5 New York after news of his re-signing broke, MJF said the decision was ‘very easy’ and that he believes in Tony Khan\'s company.
With John Cena set to retire from in-ring competition this year, it\'s all but guaranteed that he will never be traded to AEW. Nevertheless, Rollins\' comment this week has certainly raised some eyebrows, with fans questioning if anyone in AEW is on WWE\'s level.
