NXT vs. AEW: The Resurgence of the Wednesday Night Wars

Mickie James Weighs in on the Battle of the Brands

The echoes of the Wednesday Night Wars were felt this Tuesday as “WWE NXT” and “AEW Dynamite” went head-to-head in a ratings showdown. The wrestling community eagerly tuned in, and on “Busted Open Radio,” veteran Mickie James shared her perspective on the duel.

James candidly admitted, “I was more engrossed with ‘NXT’, occasionally catching up on AEW’s highlights via Twitter.” The standout moment for the former WWE Women’s Champion was the unexpected interaction between The Undertaker, Bron Breakker, and Carmelo Hayes on “NXT.” Fans were treated to a spectacle as ‘Taker took down Breakker and endorsed former “NXT” Champion Hayes. The iconic Undertaker pose, recreated post-show, was a nostalgic nod to the fans.

James humorously remarked on Undertaker’s casual footwear, dubbing them “Undersneakers.” She mused that a signature Nike line for the “Deadman” could be a massive hit.

The Undertaker’s appearance was part of a strategic move by WWE, with other main roster stars like John Cena, LA Knight, Paul Heyman, and Asuka gracing the WWE Performance Center. Their presence and high-octane matches ensured “NXT” outperformed “Dynamite” in ratings and the coveted 18-49 demographic. AEW, however, had its moments, showcasing the in-ring debut of WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland and crowning Hikaru Shida and Orange Cassidy as champions.
