• Triple H Reveals If NXT’s Booking Is A Way To Counter Program AEW Dynamite
WWE NXT defeated AEW Dynamite in overall viewership over the past two weeks.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, NXT’s head booker, Triple H, discussed if he books NXT depending on what AEW is doing that night.
Below is what he said:
“It absolutely is part of healthy competition. Anyone that thinks it isn’t, to a degree, is being naive to the situation. You saw that back in the day when Clash of Champions was counter-programming [to WWF’s WrestleMania IV in 1988].
At the same point, it can’t drive your booking decisions. Obviously there are counter-programming decisions, but I can tell you exactly how this came about. Almost all of these storylines were headed where they are now.
There was a gap, timing wise, between In Your House and what will become the SummerSlam TakeOver, and you need a halfway point and a build. This is that halfway point. So it doesn’t change our decision-making process. I don’t counter-book, I book what’s right for NXT.”
