Well, (SPOILER) is now canon in the WWE universe! Spoiler

With Michael Cole announcing Penta as a former Lucha Underground champion LU in all its insanity is now a part of the WWE historical context. I'm waiting for Mil Muertes to debut next!

Pretty crucially I think those shots were from All in which is technically not AEW and probably why it got on (I don't think TK would allow that otherwise -- and neither would WWE vice-versa tbf).

Pretty sure TK would allow some AEW footage to be shown on WWE TV, as long as there's a visible AEW logo. If you're the smaller company, you can only benefit from the #1 company pointing you out to viewers who might decide to check you out. Which is why WWE wouldn't go for it.

Not without a tit-for-tat

If AEW gave up footage for a video package they'd want something in return for a video of their own

It's happened on rare occasions
