AEW’s biggest event of the year, All In: Texas, will take place this Saturday. WWE is counterprogramming AEW’s PPV by booking NXT The Great American Bash to air at the same time as All In. Also, Saturday Night’s Main Event will air later that day, featuring Goldberg’s retirement match. According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE is going to stop going after All Elite Wrestling:
“I was told that if you think WWE learned something or maybe they decided [counterprogramming isn’t a good idea], no, we’ve got more coming. At any time, you’re gonna hear about the next WWE battle vs. AEW, the next counterprogramming attempt. We’ll be hearing about that fairly soon.”
During an interview with WFAA, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about his reaction to WWE’s counterprogramming measures. Khan said:
“Well I think we’re gonna put on a great event, and we have to focus on putting on the best event we can with the best wrestlers in the world. So that’s a lot of fun. So we’re gonna have a great show next Saturday afternoon. We’re very focused on what AEW is doing, and the AEW fans, and I think that’s served us really well.”
