Wrestling legend and the first AEW World Champion Chris Jericho recently sat down for an interview with Alex McCarty from talkSPORT on Inside The Ropes. The “Demo God” took massive shots on WWE and NXT, claiming that they moved to Wednesday nights just to “mess” with AEW
Jericho further went on claim that “The Demo God” was not a gimmick, but real, and he advised NXT to go to Tuesdays or any other day and get more viewers, claiming that it is embarrassing for them to go up against AEW on Wednesdays.
Jericho finally asked NXT to retreat and go to Tuesday and make more money. He said NXT should not worry about AEW as they are winning every week in the rating wars.
Following Chris Jericho’s shot at WWE, it is to be seen whether he gets any direct or indirect response from NXT’s Senior Producer Triple H or anyone else.
Could NXT move its programming from Wednesday Nights?
Earlier this month, WrestleVotes reported that WWE has been having discussions about moving NXT away from Wednesday Nights. It is to be noted that the last few weeks have seen NXT and AEW Dynamite run their shows on different nights due to NBA and NHL playoffs.
NXT did some strong numbers on their “Super Tuesday” episodes, in the absence of competition from AEW Dynamite. It is to be seen whether WWE permanently moves their black and gold brand to another day of the week.
