AAA's Madison Square Garden event on 9/15 and their show at the L.A. Forum on 10/13 will be aired on PPV even though WWE is also running PPVs on those dates.  AAA will air on the providers' secondary channels while the WWE events will air on the main channels.

There's some irony here, given the origins of Clash of Champions.

Interesting because I thought they were going to be house shows.

AAA needs to bring some AEW talent because this is shaping up to be as one sided as the TNA "war" vs WWE in 2010.

bad move

My guess is that AAA and WWE have different enough audiences, but this seems like a mistake on AAA's part.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Man, AAA is about to show complaining WWE fans how good they have it. Can't wait to see what a hot mess this show turns into.

I love AAA, but why?

[markymark]

It really feels like Eric Bischoff went to AAA instead of Smackdown.

As far as running the shows I believe they are basically paid-shows, so not a lot of risk for AAA. The New York show is meant to tie-in with Mexican Independence Day holiday, hoping to draw an audience from those celebrating in New York area.

That's the beauty of AAA PPVs. It's always a mess, from what I've seen.

PW Insider is saying WWE is running a PPV on 10/6, so apparently, the head-to-head deal is only in September.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Vampiro will shit himself and blame the wwe.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I imagine for the September date that they can't be picky with MSG and there will also be more Mexicans in the city that week for Mexican Independence Day so they went for it anyway.

I doubt AAA would be attempting this if it was their money on the line. But these are essentially sold shows.
