I would not be surprised in the least if CM Punk makes his return to WWE after almost 10 years gone on next weeks show.

WWE: "AEW is a pissant second rate company. We don't care about them." Also WWE: "We need to beat AEW this week!! Let's load up NXT like it's Wrestlemania!!!" The pissant comment was made before AEW even had their first show. I’m sure even if it wasn’t just bluster, that opinions would/could change in 4 and a half years.

They’re still really stacking this show when they already have a better chance of beating them now than a few years back when they got ran off.
I probably won’t watch either, but the head to head stuff is always fun at least.

HHH made the "second rate company" line just a few months ago.

HHH made the "second rate company" line just a few months ago. Like, dude has a grudge and I get it. Vince dragged his baby into the Wednesday Night Wars firing line, let it get absolutely massacred for weeks on end (besides a couple of wins here and there), retreated to a new date and then had it sold for scraps and is almost entirely unrecognizable from what it was before whilst, temporarily, getting a demotion and the blame for all of it. Does it make most of next week make sense? Not really, but considering this is a sort of statement after the new merger where anyone can be replaced by someone Endeavor thinks suits better at any time? Can’t say I entirely blame the guy either.

The ratings will definitely be wild considering that NXT had more overall viewers (857k to 850k) this week but lost in the demo (.22 to .28) during AEW's "4 year anniversary show" in their normal slot so being out of their timeslot may make things interesting.

At this rate they'll add Gunther, Bloodline, it may be called NXT but this episode is likely to be name only.

Pretty sure this where Priest cashes in on a unannounced appearance of Roman Reigns and wins the Undisputed Title

If they rush the possible signing of CM Punk on MXT this week I won't be able to stop laughing for days.

On SMACKDOWN, during the NXT trailer for the Tuesday show, it ended with a Undertaker GONG.

You can add one more top name to the show in Undertaker.
I say it's a great thing sending main roster and legends to NXT for short stints and one-offs. They're not really a third brand at this point, just a developmental show. And the NXT stars interacting with WWE stars and legends only makes them look more important in the long run. All that's really at stake in next week's ratings war is bragging rights. And it only helps NXT's television rights negotiating, won't hurt AEW because they aren't on their normal night.

There’s something comical about it at this point. Bring back Austin too.
That said, I do kind of hope that Taker’s segment is with Corbin. It feels like they were hinting at those two getting into it earlier on it Baron’s run. Seems like it’d be a nice nod to Baron, who seems to be putting it together again.

WWE doing all of this so NXT can beat AEW one week, when AEW won't even be on their regular night. Desperation: thy name is WWE.

Funny thing is, they could’ve done this at ANY time in 2019 if they wanted to. Night one, could’ve stacked the show like mad and took out Dynamite in the cradle. Somewhat uncharacteristically nobly (?), they backed their NXT roster at that time, and it didn’t beat them out, leading to all the reboots ever since.

They didn't because Vince and HHH were never on the same page and as much as people want to act like it would been fine, look at how they reacting now The rhetoric would been at an all time high of WWE trying to bury AEW
