This is me too. It's basically for 16-24 year olds. NXT is even more clearly aimed at that demographic now, with all the wrestlers seemingly being 'social media stars with zany names wearing zany colors" as their gimmicks. Also, it's turned into a spotfest, which is what AEW gets regularly slammed for.
I know WWE is having a great run right now, but I can't get into it either. AEW appeals to me because it has a stronger connection to NJPW/indies and taking its cues from Reddit (for better or for worse haha)
