I think WWE is fukkin up by sending main roster people to NXT every week. That's not what that audience wants. It's feeling too much like the other brands.

They need to try to let these guys and women stand on their own

I feel that a drawing card to NXT was the cyclical nature of it. People rotated in and out thus no match nor feud ever got played out. Fantasy booking guys and girls on the main roster gave us fans extra investment in the product and what NXT was. If the invasion had stakes, it would have worked better and would be viable. Having people that just declared war games now join together for team spirit doesn’t work

They're pushing Scorpio Sky hard breh. What are you talking about not anyone of note. He just pinned the biggest star they have and ended his undefeated streak. He is also the champ. So far they've done everything right with him.

Scorpio Sky is Scorpio Sky breh


Someone of note meant big name. nikkas don’t know who Scorpio Sky is fam



I’ve been fukkin with dude since the days he was wearing a mask, but I’m also not the average wrestling fan. We in the trenches, we’re not casuals dog.

His name ain’t ringing bells

Counter to that, what black person not in WWE does a big audience know?

That match is not a draw

Allin is not a draw at this point

It's not a huge draw but I think it's somewhat of a draw, that's what's gonna draw me into watching next week match wise. Moxley is 1 of their biggest stars and Allin has now for people that are watching established himself as willing to do crazy shyt, plus he had that draw with Cody. So expecting something intense and high risk, so while it may not draw it outside more casual fans it's probably a match ther current fan base would be quite interested in.

Would you have watched anyway? Whether live or if you recorded it?

Its a fine match but its not a draw in the sense of persuading someone to watch that wasnt previously watching.

Its good to have a guy like Allin wrestle against Moxley because that type of booking could eventually lead to Allin being somewhat of a draw but this match will not impact ratings one way or another next week

I'm not sure, ideally I'd like to watch, but I make sure I tune in live if there's something of particular interest. Otherwise I might do a catch up at a later date if get time. For example this week I watched live primarily cause I wanted to see what MJF did after turning on Cody, I wanted to hear what his promo/reason for the turn was. Full Gear I had to watch for Omega vs Moxley and Cody vs Jericho and next week thus far it's for Allin vs Moxley, I wanna see what crazy shyt that do.

I don't think it will help hugely no, maybe help maintain some fans but shouldn't add a large amount.

Not sure what else has been announced for the sure.

Nope, no-one thinks that, it's more what crazy shyt are they gonna do. Allin is a big risk taker and Moxley has been on his hardcore shyt since he's joined AEW, he's much more believable as being crazy now, what interests me is what they are gonna do, Allin takes some pretty risky bumps, I'd imagine it may have some big ones in the match.

WWE NXT Tops AEW Dynamite In Viewership For The First Time - Wrestling Inc.
It took 8 weeks but WWE NXT has finally defeated AEW Dynamite in viewership.

Wednesday's AEW Dynamite on TNT drew 893,000 viewers while NXT drew 916,000 viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.

This is the best NXT viewership since the official two-hour USA premiere on October 2. The first two NXT USA episodes had just one hour air on cable, and they drew 1.179 million viewers and 1.006 million viewers. The NXT viewership is likely up due to fans expecting top RAW and SmackDown Superstars to appear for the final Survivor Series build on NXT. As noted, top main roster stars such as Seth Rollins, RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, The Revival, and others appeared.


AEW ranked #8 in the Cable Top 150, while NXT ranked #14. AEW ranked #36 in viewership, while NXT ranked #35 in viewership.

Last week's Dynamite episode drew 957,000 viewers and ranked #5 in the Cable Top 150, and #37 in viewership. Last week's NXT episode drew 750,000 viewers and ranked #22 in the Cable Top 150, and #41 in viewership.

AEW drew a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic while NXT drew a 0.30 in the same demo this week. Last week's AEW episode drew a 0.43 in that demographic while NXT drew a 0.25.

The Democratic Debate on MSNBC topped the night in the 18-49 demographic at #1 with a 1.08 rating, also topping the night in viewership with 6.604 million viewers.

Chicago Med on NBC at 8pm topped the night in viewership on network TV with 8.433 million viewers. The Masked Singer on FOX topped the 18-34 demographic with a 1.2 rating.
