With AEW Dynamite shifted to this Tuesday due to TBS' MLB coverage, AEW and WWE NXT will be head to head once again, each live, for the first time since 4/7/21, when NXT was shifted to Tuesdays from Wednesdays on the USA Network.
On that evening, NXT's audience was 768,000 with 0.22 in the 18-49 demo. This was for NXT Stand and Deliver Night One, headlined by Raquel González with Dakota Kai vs. Io Shirai for the WWE NXT Women's Championship.
AEW's audience, then on TNT, was 1,104,000 with a 0.37. That episode was headlined by then-AEW Champion Kenny Omega & The Good Brothers with Don Callis vs. Jon Moxley & then-AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.
This week's lineups, as currently announced:
AEW on TBS:
*AEW Champion Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page.
*AEW Interim Women's Champion Toni Storm vs. Hikaru Shida.
*MJF to appear.
*Renee Paquette will have a sit-down interview with Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta.
WWE NXT on the USA Network:
*Sonya Deville vs. Alba Fyre.
*Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez compete in Pick Your Poison matches:
-Jade's opponent will be from the Smackdown roster.
-Perez will compete against a Raw competitor.
*Quincy Elliott vs. Xyon Quinn.
*Joe Gacy & The Dyad vs. Cameron Grimes & mystery partners from the WWE main roster.
*Stacks vs. an opponent of Tony D'Angelo's choosing.
That same evening, Vice TV will be airing episodes of Tales from The Territories from 8-10 PM Eastern as well:
8 PM - Memphis Wrestling
9 PM - Andy Kaufman vs. Jerry Lawler
10 PM - AWA (Premiere episode)
It should be very interesting to see how the shows do opposite each other again and what the tales of the audiences tell us when the two promotions return to their former head to head timeslot position about 18 months after their final meeting.
