    Between the ongoing Writers Guild of America Strike and the SAG-AFTRA
    Strike, the film and television worlds are on their way to a content
    shortage. But one form of weekly TV entertainment that isn't going
    anywhere is pro wrestling, as wrestlers aren't members of SAG-AFTRA nor
    have they unionized. This is why weekly programs like WWE's Monday Night
    Raw and Friday Night SmackDown and AEW's Dynamite and Collision will keep moving forward without any interference from either strike. Seth Rollins,
    WWE's current World Heavyweight Champion, was asked about how wrestling
    could benefit in a recent TMZ interview.

    "I mean, silver lining for us, I suppose, you know, it's a difficult time
    for the actors and the writers," Rollins said. "I believe they're doing
    the right thing, asking for what they deserve. I stand by them. But it is
    a fortunate part of not being part of a union that we are able to still perform, and for our audiences and people who may not be familiar, now
    they get an opportunity to tune in and see what we are all About. Yeah. I
    mean, we've never been hotter businesses. The biggest it's ever been, the talent across the board is the best it's ever been. The business is hot
    right now. We're in a boom. I think when we look back on it, it's gonna
    be a special time."
