Brian James Reflects on Khan’s Comments and NXT’s Ratings Battle with AEW
The wrestling world is always abuzz with opinions, and the latest episode of the “Oh…You Didn’t Know” podcast saw ‘Road Dogg’ Brian James and Matt ‘The Casio Kid’ Mitchell dive deep into recent remarks made by AEW’s Tony Khan about WWE’s NXT.
Khan’s tweets, which pointedly mentioned the first time Undertaker and John Cena appeared on a show without drawing a million viewers in two decades, stirred the pot in the wrestling community. When presented with the numbers – NXT drawing 921,000 viewers and AEW pulling in 69,000 – Road Dogg’s response was both candid and humorous. “This mic is expensive as crap or I’d pick it up and drop it,” he quipped, highlighting the significant gap in viewership.
While acknowledging Khan’s penchant for throwing rocks at WWE, Brian James expressed understanding for the AEW magnate’s position. “He’s throwing rocks, and I get it,” James stated, emphasizing that such jabs are par for the course in the competitive world of professional wrestling.
The podcast also touched upon the strategic decisions made by WWE, with James noting that the company “threw everything” at the recent NXT episode to boost viewership. He likened the situation to a battlefield, suggesting that when one side takes the high ground, the other side might resort to desperate measures.
The episode concluded with some light-hearted banter between James and Mitchell, further showcasing the camaraderie and humor that often accompanies discussions in the wrestling world.
