I think the women's wrestling thing he's referring to is that it's given disproportionate 'prestige' for the true popularity of it (I can't say whether that's true).
It may, by extension, mean some talents get pushed more or higher despite fan interest, just because "look at our fabulous alphabet rainbow representation!!!!!" That's more of a theory.
Other possible issues that could be interpreted as 'woke' would probably include 'stories/characters/matches they could do in the past that they can't now.'
That's reasonable. But again, AEW has only one women's match per two-hour show, and Reddit claims that's too low.
In AEW, people don't get pushed unless they get popular. Just look what happened with the Nightmare Collective in the company's first few months--the fans revolted so hard that they just dropped the angle dead, mid-story, instead of ramming it down our throats like WWE did with Katie Vick.
