According to Slice Wrestling, WWE officials are looking to capitalize on the WWE vs. AEW war to generate publicity and interest in their product.
With the viewership being down, Triple H feels things like this can help in improving things and this is the most likely reason why Sami was booked to mention AEW on RAW.
