Jeff Jarrett, who was working for WWE in May 2022 as the Senior Vice President of Live Events, is now with AEW as the Director of Business Development and an on-air talent.

Speaking to Adrian Hernandez of The Bet Las Vegas, Jarrett was asked about NXT running against AEW.

"At the end of the day, the longevity of my business, I found out real early in my career, and to this day, I compete against myself. That is my number one mindset. I want to be better than I was yesterday. If you compete against yourself day in and day out, that's the real barometer. You cannot control anything outside of that. You may think you can, you may think you can compete against other talent or other companies or other matches, at the end of the day, the only thing that you can really control, your destiny, is competing against yourself, and that's what I do day in and day out," he said.
