Jim Cornette Questions AEW’s Long‑Term Value of The New Level

In a recent video on his official channel, Jim Cornette expressed skepticism about the future prominence of Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He argued that a change of promotion does not automatically translate into a higher public profile or a significant shift in the company’s business dynamics.

Cornette’s Take on The New Level’s Arrival

Cornette noted that while the duo’s move to AEW is headline‑making, it may not alter the landscape of the promotion. He emphasized that a wrestler’s visibility is influenced by many factors beyond the ring, including marketing, storyline relevance, and fan engagement. According to Cornette, the mere fact that Kingston and Creed joined AEW does not guarantee they will become central attractions.

Impact on AEW’s Business?

Addressing the business side, Cornette stated he does not expect the team’s arrival to significantly change AEW’s revenue or viewership numbers. He pointed out that AEW already has a roster of high‑profile talent and that adding two more wrestlers, even well‑known ones, may not shift the company’s overall trajectory.

Broader Implications for Wrestler Mobility

Beyond the immediate case, Cornette’s comments touch on a broader debate in professional wrestling: whether moving to a different promotion is a guaranteed path to greater success. He suggested that wrestlers must still prove themselves within the new environment, and that fan loyalty can be fickle.
