AEW Dynamite S5: 4/10 moderate wokeness. Diverse roster (black champ, trans/gay/non-binary stars) feels organic and incidental to athletic rivalries, with no forced DEI lectures or identity politics overshadowing traditional wrestling action.
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite - Season 5 features a diverse roster including prominent black wrestlers like Swerve Strickland as world champion, transgender wrestler Nyla Rose, gay wrestler Anthony Bowens who came out on TV, and even a non-binary trios champion, reflecting Tony Khan's emphasis on hiring top diverse talent as he has publicly stated.
However, these elements are incidental to the core storytelling of athletic competitions, rivalries, and championship pursuits without centering identity politics, systemic oppression, or critiques of traditional norms. No evidence of race/gender-swapping, forced DEI clashes with wrestling's macho traditions, or lecture moments in narratives.
Crowd-driven progressive chants like 'F*ck ICE' occur but are unscripted fan behavior, not producer intent. Reception lacks significant backlash labeling it 'woke' or tying declines to ideology; instead, past criticisms accused AEW of insufficient diversity. The show maintains traditional wrestling entertainment focus with organic diversity enhancing broad appeal without compromising the action-oriented premise.
