Well, that was a busy night.

Busy, busy night. Another year. Another Tuesday night head to head. What is this? The third year in a row. And I vowed two years ago. I said, man, you know, watching both shows simultaneously at the same time. Not a fan. Not a fan. Last year, there was a one hour overlap between the two shows. But this has become a regular thing now.

You can thank baseball for that, where AEW Dynamite gets bumped up by a day to Tuesday.

So we get the Tuesday night war.

Ooh, the war.

First time that we've had a head-to-head since last year.

And this time, NXT opted to go the invasion route, showdown, invasion,

whatever you want to call it, between NXT and TNA. So they chose to do what effectively was

its own little standalone event that didn't really move a whole lot forward in the way of stories,

right? There was a little bit in there, but not a whole

lot. It was really, you know, in many ways, a self-contained event that, you know, if anything,

help promote and push some of the matches at Bound for Glory this weekend, because TNA has a big

pay-per-view coming up, arguably their biggest of the year, in Lowell, Massachusetts

coming up on Sunday night. So not a lot of story progression, at least on the NXT side,

but what this show did have me wishing, I've been saying this for a while. I do wish that

Triple H had not completely abandoned the traditional Survivor Series elimination style match at Survivor Series.

You want to do war games, that's fine.

I always thought, you know, to retain one Survivor Series style match would be kind of cool.

I didn't really see the need to completely abandon the concept.

But we got two of them tonight.

Two Survivor Series style elimination matches.

And it was way more even tonight than it's been recently in terms of the war back and forth
