During the second quarter 2019 earnings call, Vince McMahon made references to All Elite Wrestling during a Q&A session. While discussing WWE’s creative content, Vince McMahon mentioned that they will be edgier but there will not be a return to the Attitude Era. They will remain in the PG environment.
Vince McMahon also said that WWE will not “do blood and guts and things of that nature, such as what is being done on our new potential competitor”. This is, of course, a reference to the Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes match at AEW Double or Nothing where Dustin bled profusely.

AEW All Out will be held on August 31, 2019, while the first TNT live show will be held on October 2, 2019.
