In a recent interview with The Sportster, Roman Reigns commented on AEW.

I’ll just say this. It’s all so new, and it was what it was with Ambrose leaving and popping up over there. Competition? No, there’s no competition. WWE, we know exactly what we’re doing. We have the best talent in the world. There’s no comparing, I say that with firm confidence, all the way from the top to the very bottom. We are world class all the way through.

Is it another option? Sure. For wrestlers around the world and in the locker room, AEW is another option and another place to get a check. I’m never against optimism, but I think you have foolish thoughts if you really think there’s a comparison or actual competition. Just an option, which isn’t a bad thing.
It's hard to disagree with Reigns. AEW is a long way from competing with WWE, if they ever do. For now AEW can be another option, which is what wrestling has needed for years. If that causes WWE to get better, then it's a win-win.
