I’ll pretty much echo what Travon said. AEW does indeed style themselves after Japanese promotions a good bit (given TK’s big love for NJPW and such), you could say half-n-half US style/JP style. You still get segments, promos, story and such as you would in American wrestling but they also emphasize the story being told through the wrestling more, more ‘just because’ matches instead of requiring story reasons for every match to occur (which I hate lol), having frequent post-match promos (which Japan loves doing) etc.

I’m a big Japanese wrestling guy so after all these years the styles just kinda blend together and you don’t notice it as much 😅, but it’s definitely not just you. Shut the brain off, let it take ya for a ride as far as it can. It’s pro wrestling afterall, give it 2 weeks and stuff flips from ‘everything makes sense’ to ‘what the fuck?!’ regardless of company lol.
