We Are NXT!
Funny enough, AEW wanted Dynamite to be on Tuesdays, they even tried to trademark "Tuesday Night Dynamite" but the "NBA on TNT" show shot down any notion of that. NXT aired new episodes on Wednesdays for the longest time on the WWE Network at 8pm. Once SD internally was being considered to be moving to FOX, USA came to WWE and wanted something to fill that void that SD would leave once it moved to FOX. WWE and USA agreed to put NXT in that spot, make it 2 hours to fill that SD void but also decided to keep it on it's normal, established spot and that was Wednesdays at 8pm. This was before Dynamite was even a thing.Triple H deserves the L for trying to have NXT go head to head with AEW and for trying to present it as a 3rd brand. Vince and the fans to an extent were always going to see it as developmental and truth be told, that period was a test. Vince let Haitch go on with his delusions, let him go head to head with AEW and when H got smoked, Vince and his health made him fall back and Vince threw the In Living Color season 1 title sequence on that hoe.
But now, yeah, Triple H has all the right to do his victory lap.
So anyone saying they put NXT up against AEW is lying or doesn't know the entire story. If anything it was AEW putting Dynamite against NXT as I previously stated they wanted it on Tuesday.
