It's so funny how much they said they didn't care about AEW in the past but the literal second AEW is in direct competition with them again, NXT is suddenly the A show where every ratings mover is showing up to the brand It's so blatant you can't help but laugh at it, but hey, if you're AEW, you gotta take it as a compliment, they desperately want that ratings W against them lol So what is WWE supposed to do? Publicly say that they do care about their competitors and lay low instead of raising the game? At the end of the day, it's business.

I mean it is pretty simple
AEW is getting moved off their night and going to come out strong to at least try to keep ratings steady
NXT is going to counter that to not lose viewers

we goin to WAR on tuesday lads! WWE pulling all the stops to lose to Dynamite by like what, 200k? 300k? Very bold to assume that's gonna happen. My inclination is it’ll be somewhere around there, maybe a little less, with aew barely edging the win. I don’t even know what aew’s got planned but both companies are gonna bring it. It’ll be interesting. I’m curious what you think the rating outcome will be.

TK won’t know what hit him going up against 2023 NXT. This ain’t the old 2019 Wednesday Night Wars black and gold NXT.. We some dogs now. Weirdly horned up dogs.

It'll be withn a few thousand either way and both companies get beaten senseless by baseball.

Clearly TK needs to book true ratings movers on his shut as well.
Julia Hart, Riho, and Skye Blue.

I never said this was wrong, I just said it was funny Just like "Look at all of these amazing stars coming to NXT for this specific week, for no reason in particular!", I didn't say that they shouldn't do it but like c'mon, it's funny! That's all lol

To me it's funny WWE's doing this because ultimately it really doesn't remotely matter anyway. Whichever show comes out on top, it affects absolutely nothing other than one set of obnoxious fanboys or the other boasting about it the next day.

Yeah, like, I don’t know, I look at this is just like how the Wednesday Night Wars was. WWE’s going to give NXT all these names and do all these matches and the next week it’ll just be back to what it was before (besides, obviously, Becky still being there which has actually benefited them). At least they’re doing it well in advance this time instead of having a big name tweet on the day of “Yo, on my way to Florida, might stop by the Capitol Wrestling Center for the lols”.

Ironically enough, wasn't it Edge who did something like that? And it did nothing to bump the rating at all? Now they're stacking the show (at this point in time, since he's one of the few things advertised) largely to counter him. EDIT: RECEIPTS~!... officialfan.proboards.com/thread/608010/2-3-nxt-rating

And, of course he didn’t because it was, like, a couple of hours before the show which still boggles my mind because yeah, what else was going to happen? WWE didn’t even reference it until right before the show began. It was just really out of character for them, too, because it wasn’t like Edge wasn’t a TV draw. Just that they thought…Twitter was going to hype him up or something? Mind boggling. Which, yeah, does make the irony of stacking the card against it pretty funny.

It does kind of make sense to shore up the ratings I suppose but at the end of the day, it’s basically admitting the NXT roster isn’t good enough to hold its own - which it isn’t but novelty booking main roster main event talent doesn’t solve that, if anything it makes it even more obvious.
At least with AEW even if they stack their card, it’s with talent who will feature on the show almost every week.

Seeing that made me realize they did sort of fix the complaints I had about it. Becky’s on Raw and NXT, so’s the Judgment Day and even with this hotshotting, it’s not like Bron and others haven’t been on Raw either. So yeah, I still stand by my main points about doing stuff just to do stuff and it not mattering in the wider NXT picture but it’s not like they haven’t learned from that a bit. Just took them time after thinking throwing Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin on there would do the trick.

I won't be watching either NXT or AEW live, so I'll be DVRing them both, but I'll probably just watch NXT later at night when I get the chance and save AEW for wednesday like usual for me. But if AEW REALLY wants the upper hand in this, Kris Statlander versus Megan Bayne could do it.

All the stuff from Sunday for some reason is a lead up to next Tuesday. Edge first match Bucks vs ftr
