WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAR:
AEW DYNAMITE vs. NXT
FACTOR 1: MATCHES
One of these shows had Finn Balor vs. Adam Cole and Rhea Ripley vs. Shayna Baszler. The other didn't. Nuff said.
WINNER: NXT
FACTOR 2: PROMOS
AEW = Jungle Boy's interview was as bland as imaginable. Dark Order? Pass. Etc.
NXT = Dakota Kai's quick promo didn't really do anything for me. Not horrible, but not noteworthy, either.
WINNER: n/a
FACTOR 3: STORYLINES
AEW = Pass on everything. I'm not interested in PAC vs. Omega or the tiny tease of Omega/Page enough to go nuts over either of them. Lucha Bros, whatever. Butcher and Blade? Nope. Jungle Boy's thing was fine with Jericho. The Nightmare Collective is awful. The Dark Order could be so much better, but isn't.
NXT = No real storylines this week that made a ton of progress.
WINNER: n/a
FACTOR 4: SCHEDULING / PACING
I say this every week and it continues to be true. NXT flows better to me. I always find myself wanting to skip portions of Dynamite.
WINNER: NXT
EXTRA CREDIT BONUS ROUND!!!
No points added or taken away from either show that I haven't already talked about.
POINT ADJUSTMENTS: AEW (+0 / -0) / NXT (+0 / -0)
THIS WEEK'S WINNER = NXT
That's my pick for the better show of the week, but how do YOU stand?
Which was better, Dynamite or NXT?
