Why I'm Glad WWE Is Re-Embracing Factions More (Even If It's Emulating AEW)

Judgment Day walks out for a match with Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest.

The WWE prides itself on being the gold standard for pro wrestling, but the top dog in any business can learn something from its competition. Whether the company's execs would want to admit it or not, there seems to be a key way the wrestling organization is emulating its biggest competitor, AEW, with factions making a big comeback in Vince McMahon's neck of the woods. And I, for one, am not mad about it. 

Now, to be clear, the concept of factions and stables has existed in the WWE for a long time. With that said, it seems like there are now more than ever at a time in which the AEW has used factions for a bulk of its talent for some time now. Again, I'm not upset in the slightest to see the WWE re-embracing a trend it once used because a competitor found success with it, and I think it's benefitted the product in a number of ways.
