Damn good show. Tried to pay attention to both NXT and AEW, but this show generally had my attention more.
That opening match was a barnburner, and finally watching a Matt Riddle match made me see why he's so popular.

I missed the first half-hour or thereabouts, but what I saw made me less pissed that History is doing an Ancient Aliens marathon tonight.
And I really had planned to watch only Forged In Fire on Wednesdays as well but this may have changed my mind, or at least for the Wednesdays I DON'T close at work.

This is actually tough. I'm going with a 10 because there was very little down time in the matches and the show flowed well. I'd hope they keep the pip every week.
The wrestling was fantastic and the only 3.. yes just 3 talking segment. Which were all good and to the point.

As close to perfect as you could probably get.

As close to perfect as you could probably get. This. That's why it was hard for me to pick a #. If you voted 8 or 9 I could agree with that.

7, match quality was excellent but I was expecting NXT to match AEW blow-by-blow in terms of commercial breaks. It was smart for the big debut to happen after the first Dynamite match ended.
Not a fan of NXT's visual identity in comparison to the other show. As I've already said, the desaturated and shadowy look makes it seem small-time to me. I have a feeling they'll tweak their presentation in the next few weeks.
Will be interesting to see how they use the 15 minute overrun in future weeks.
Not a fan of Shayna retaining again, so we'll have to see who they build up in the next few weeks.
In just two hours, the NXT title picture became one of the more interesting races in all of wrestling. Direct competition is here. Let's see what they do.

8-8.5.
Went by quick, matches were dope, loved the energy, loved the returns, just a dope show.

Voted "Didn't watch" as a placeholder because I only caught the overrun. Will have a better defined opinion when I catch the replay tomorrow or Friday. Sounded like it was a good show, though.

Balor & Ciampa arriving pushed it over the top. Loved every bit of it.

I went with a very strong 8 (amazing show, I loved it). The only things keeping it from a 10 was Mia Yim vs Io Shirai felt like it dragged a bit and went pretty long (which was helpful for flipping to AEW and seeing what was going on there) and Mauro just overdoing it with references. I love Mauro, he brings the passion like no other announcer in WWE does, but he can scale back on the random references every 3 minutes, it gets annoying and a tad distracting at times.

The best non-Takeover show they’ve done. Awesome start to finish. 10-10

Gave it an 8. Don't think they can keep up the pace (you can't bring Finn back every week, or have Ciampa return) but as far as the first head to head goes, the little "developmental" company won this round.

I was mostly watching AEW last night (I did flip to Candice vs. Shayna during the AEW Women's Title Match), so I can't really rate. Based on what I read it seemed like a great show, so I'm going to catch up on what I missed later (thank god for DVR!)

Now that I’ve watched, I changed my rating to an 8.
-2 for LOLSHAYNAWINS.
Now and forever, when she wins, the overall rating gets a minus two. I don’t like her and I don’t want to see her.

Both NXT and AEW are putting in the work for sure, and while I can certainly appreciate the changes NXT have made in building themselves up in live TV, at the same time I'm apprehensive simply because of precedence from the parent company screwing up good things. The wrestling was good on both shows with the slight edge to NXT, but the never-ending Shayna title reign has gotten beyond stale and this was the perfect opportunity to take it off of her.
AEW went with unpredictable results, NXT went with some very tired choices with theirs. I gave AEW a 9, and I'll give NXT an 8. Cannot WAIT to see what comes in Week 2 of the WNW!
