• AEW’s Jim Ross Not Surprised By WWE Starting AEW vs. NXT War
WWE announced yesterday that NXT is moving to the USA Network and will become a two hour show, beginning September 18.
The show will air from 8 to 10 PM EST, which means it’ll be going head-to-head with AEW’s TV show on TNT – thus starting a “Wednesday Night War” in Pro-Wrestling.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, who is currently working as a Commentator & Senior Advisor in All Elite Wrestling, tweeted the following regarding the AEW vs. NXT war:
Not sure personally of the poke the bear line but @wwe move to attempt to block their “non competition” isn’t a surprise.
No one said this journey would be easy. https://t.co/WRdlWqrs4p
