Can anyone explain why USA would move nxt to Tuesdays? How can't that be viewed as a sign of defeat?

Can't really move NXT to Thursdays or else they'd run into a similar situation as RAW with NFL competition during the later half of the year. They still are going to get hurt by NBA competition but that's usually the lesser of the two evils for WWE. AEW already has shown they can compete well against NBA games so the same should be possible for NXT on Tuesdays assuming they can boost their key demo and younger viewership to much higher levels. |

Wouldn’t generate higher ratings than wrestling, but I’m sure advertisers respect hockey fans more than wrestling fans. WWE isn’t moving NXT away from Wednesday nights willingly — it was doing its job just fine. They didn’t even try using someone like AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan down there if it were about ratings.

I'm not CRAZY about the "Horseman" revivals we seem to have happening just because they probably won't be able to use that trademark. We've seen that a bunch throughout history with Evolution and the TNA version that I can't remember the name for. JJ couldn't even get into the ring so I can't see him sticking around. In that case Tully can stay the manager and they can get a big name to play lead. I don't k ow if Spears is the right guy.

I remember AJ appearing with Gallows and Anderson to build Survivor Series (or maybe War Games?) like two years ago.

I'd rather have a Billion dollars and air on Tuesday then go head to head with flippy nerds and WWE rejects Not like NXT was so sad they get 100,000 less viewers that they begged to move nights. Let's not let the truth get in the way of celebrating AEW's great victory though, am I right????? |

At least in AJ Styles' case, he showed up there during the three brand warfare build for Survivor Series that year and wrestled a tag match at a NXT show.

It's been the same 1.5-1.6 million fans between NXT and AEW since Day 1 and I doubt that's changing

Lemme take that back a bit. I'm disappointed if he's the big reveal. Maybe he shows up in the ladder match. That could be fun if he can actually go. He looks fucking ripped so maybe he's on whatever the Rock is on.
But if he's the big signing then I'll still be disappointed. |

I think it’s Christian. Guy who reported he was under contract, got it wrong.
Angle would be terrible. It was painful to watch him wrestle in his last run. He is hunched over, has arm problems and can’t even straighten his legs properly. He has to turn his whole body just to look round. Not only would it be a terrible idea to have him wrestle again, it would be irresponsible. No one wants to see that in 2021.. Show clearly said “hall of fame worthy” and Angle is already in the HoF. |

Maybe Kurt is training for the Olympics again. Wasn't he trying for another go at that a few years back?

I can understand WHY he wants one last run. Not that he could move worth a shit in 2019 but he had a very undignified end to his in-ring career. Him losing his retirement match was fine, that's how it's supposed to go...but who the hell wanted to see him against Baron Corbin? Moreover, it was basically a 5 minute squash 6 hours into a 7.5 hour WrestleMania, everyone was long ready to go home by then.
But as much as he's worked on his physique, not sure the mobility is gonna be there. |

If it’s not Angle it’s kinda brilliant for him to capitalize on the rumors by putting out that teaser, could end up being an ad for his nutrition company or something.

If the surprise is Kurt Angle I think Tony Khan over-hyped it. Still looking forward to the show on Sunday, the card is really good.
