Not sure what Undertaker is going to be doing on this show. Teasing a feud with Joe Gacy?

The first 30 minutes of the show will be commercial free.

Tomorrow there will be a picture of a puppy with a gun to his head threatening to shoot it if you don’t watch NXT

I can only assume someone at WWE is trapped in some Saw-esque trap and will die if NXT doesn't beat AEW this week.

Just last week NXT had 887,000 viewers but only a 0.22 demo. A few weeks ago when Dynamite had 887,000 viewers they had a 0.31 demo.

NXT was almost certainly going to win anyway just because it’s on its usual night and AEW isn’t. This level of overcompensation is so comical that it almost makes them look bad.

If Cena, Cody, Asuka, Heyman, commercial free and the Undertaker gong only ALMOST makes them look bad…I need to know what would definitely make them look bad lol

The more I think about it, they basically need this to be, like, 1m-900k/650k or something like that because if somehow it was a draw of any kind then it’d be a letdown on their end.
Because you’re not putting all this talent and doing all this to beat them by, like, 200k or something like that.

It's kinda fitting throwback to the Wednesday Nights Wars in that the only time they could get NXT to pip Dynamite was when they stacked it up with main roster guys that won't be there every week.

This s*** is getting funnier by the minute
Forget beating Dynamite in the ratings. By going to this extreme to do it they’re probably giving Tony Khan almost as much joy as he’d get from beating WWE in the ratings

Back then did they not have to. Black and Gold NXT was largely ignored by Vince and the Goon troops of the time and this was a major source of discussion that if WWE had actually backed up NXT that they would have won the demos which is what they were handedly losing at the time but the viewership was fairly neck and neck apart from the near end of NXT when Vince and shitsquad were getting their mits moreand more into it and ousting HHH. And the times that black and gold did beat them it was basically with their own talent...Halloween Havoc being a notable head to head of the wednesday night wars.

Because you’re not putting all this talent and doing all this to beat them by, like, 200k or something like that. It basically is no longer about WWE winning this because people have largely accepted it. This is now all about by how much or how little they win this by. NXT has to win with the highest viewership it has ever done by a solid margin or else it would have to be considered a failure.

NXT has to win with the highest viewership it has ever done by a solid margin or else it would have to be considered a failure. Pretty much. I’d argue just achieving the numbers they have with Becky and Dom the last few weeks wouldn’t cut it because that’d just be their regular audience. Which, again, by the way…why isn’t Becky booked so far? Like, she might have a segment but she is a huge reason why NXT’s even doing well right now and the fact instead you’re booking Asuka against someone is super weird to me. But then all of this is super weird to me and it sort of makes me further less believe the “We need to make NXT look good for potential bidder” argument.
