Really for me it boils down to presentation

Do the matches matter
How much are we focusing on the matches and feuds and not random tangential shit
How much smoke are we blowing up our own ass
How organic does the commentary and presentation feel
How dynamic do the matches and segments feel-- am I watching the same match/promo template stamped with different wrestlers/signature moves over and over

My experience with current NXT is limited as I only started watching it again with TV (and missed last week) but I'd call them WWE Jr currently with regards to most of this stuff whereas AEW bucked the trend completely, for me. If we're running a scorecard yeah AEW technically did ticked boxes on things WWE does like dumb guest commentators and stuff but on the actual important irksome stuff they more or less avoided it completely which is great.

Like even the stuff I didn't like it wasn't "this feels particularly like WWE and is dumb" it was "this is dumb in its own way" which is good.

I mean I still watch WWE some so I don't completely hate it or anything so "good WWE" isn't necessarily a bad thing to me either, but this did feel like an alternative to me. Not an NJPW or CHIKARA level of difference or anything, but more different than TNA (post FSN days) ever felt.
