I had some reservations about this episode at first, but I think it turned out very well. We still got the usual NXT wackiness to go with the main roster stuff, and I got to see Shotzi in NXT again (I really hope she stays)!!! I should've known better than to doubt my favorite wrestling show!!!

From a perception point of view can anyone actually win this? WWE - it's their usual night and they are sending their biggest star and other top acts. They're expected to win for those reason so if they do win what is their to crow about? AEW - Have stacked their card to try and compete but if they do win they "just" best WWE's developmental brand. The way I see it, once WWE stacked the deck in response to AEW stacking the deck by calling it Title Tuesday and having Edge's debut match, AEW can't lose and WWE can't win. AEW can get trounced in the ratings, and they can point to being on a different day and WWE having three of their four biggest stars and the Undertaker. WWE wins by anything but a big margin, and so what? They should do with that line up. If they get a monster rating, it could even backfire - they're negotiating new deals for Raw and Smackdown. What if USA come back, and say "great NXT numbers", why can't we have the big stars on every week? Why should we pay what you want when you only normally deliver a smaller number that what you got this week?

Why should we pay what you want when you only normally deliver a smaller number that what you got this week? I think it’d depend on what numbers this show does with the other competition because, well, NXT has been doing about 900k for a lot of weeks besides the week Becky and Dom weren’t there with it being 600k so it has gained a lot of traction. Now, if the number it gets is about 1m to 1.3m or something like that, it might be a different conversation but it’s not like USA doesn’t know how well NXT has been doing recently. Which, again, makes me think they’re just going to get signed by NBCU and put on a different network or even USA but that’s just me.

They got close last week but NXT hasn’t actually cracked 900,000 viewers since November 2019. Since August, they’re averaging about 740K.

During NXT, you might have noticed that there was a fan with a sign that asked Cody to follow him on TikTok and his dad taking him to Mania. Cody met the kid after the show, confirmed the follow on TikTok and comped the kid's Mania tickets.
I might be getting soft in my old age, but I thought that was cool, even if it was kind of a photo op.

This kid also wanted to meet Roxanne in that video and she seemed to ignore him. No wonder she has no friends!

Like I said on the AEW version - we got a bunch of promotion, some real good matches, and about a million and a half viewers across the two shows.
Putting the old hat tribalism aside, nothing but a win here for pro wrestling. I hope the momentum continues.

Kinda expected them to break the million.
Even a little disappointing they didnt when you consider how they stacked it.
Still, it was a good show and lots set up for next week too.

Even if it's tempting after how Tony has behaved on Twitter in the past day or two I'm begging HBK not to post some mocking gif or anything like that and stoke the tribalism further. Just take the win and move on to whatever weird stuff he's cooking up for next week. He probably had to tame himself this week with the extra normies tuning in.

WWE pulling all the stops to lose to Dynamite by like what, 200k? 300k? Very bold to assume that's gonna happen. Oh it'll happen. Watch them set the card tomorrow and you'll see how it'll be a ratings bloodbath. Kind of crazy you got the number but in the opposite direction. A million and a half people watching wrestling on a Tuesday is very cool.

That's the only thing that was annoying over the past couple of days. Khan made himself look like a fool with his Twitter antics... just my opinion.

And I don’t think HBK uses twitter the same way as Tony does.
