AEW and NXT have been going head to head on Wednesday nights for almost a year now, and AEW has come out ahead in viewership for the vast majority of the Wednesday Night Wars.
It’s no big secret that WWE put NXT on Wednesday nights in hopes of driving AEW out of business, and during a recent interview with Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT for Inside The Ropes, Chris Jericho talked about the possibility of NXT moving nights.
While talking about NXT possibly leaving Wednesday nights, the first ever AEW World Champion made it clear that he thinks it’s the right move.
“I’m going to ask you one question. Why is NXT on a Wednesday night? (Alex McCarthy answers that it’s to oppose Dynamite). Exactly, they came on Wednesday just to mess with us. Take your head out of your ass and go make money. Don’t worry about our company. We’re not worried about you. We don’t have a screen up that shows what’s going on every moment on NXT, like they do watching Dynamite.
“Leave us alone. Do your own thing. Go to Tuesday’s. Grab an extra 250,000 viewers. Finally get your demo where it needs to be because it’s pretty embarrassing on a Wednesday night to go up against us. ‘The Demo God’ thing is is not a gimmick. It’s real. So go. Go to Tuesday, go to Sunday [or] go to any other day you want, but don’t exist just to mess with us because we’re beating you every week. It’s kind of embarrassing for NXT at this point.”
