AEW obviously let's their talent take more risks than in WWE. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. WWE has its own style they strive to teach their pupils. AEW uses more of an indie style where talent puts together their own matches as opposed to agents and writers that piece the match together.

Also in WWE they are on the road more often and work house shows. So talent is able to build chemistry together and conduct multiple matches together. There are more inherent risks working in AEW, I don't think anyone can deny that? Someone like Darby Allin (or Sammy) would never work in WWE with how their matches are styled, and the bumps they take.

Just look at Punk being so opposed to Jack Perry using real glass, he came from the WWE environment where something like that would never take place. Meanwhile in AEW using real glass is the "norm". Punk would probably still be in AEW if it weren't for this exact reason. In AEW the talent puts their matches together, which is both good and bad. The wrestling itself is superior, but it will result in more risks taken (and more injuries). WWE would never sponser Darby to climb Everest... Tony is probably all for it.
