WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAR:
AEW DYNAMITE vs. NXT
FACTOR 1: MATCHES
Solid matches all around, for the most part. My favorite of them was probably Keith Lee vs. Dominik Dijakovic from NXT. However, I do think AEW gave more bang for the buck. There were more matches in NXT, but some of those weren't worth revisiting, like Tegan Nox against Taynara.
WINNER: AEW
FACTOR 2: PROMOS
I actually wasn't too fond of any of the promos from either show this week. Nothing stood out.
WINNER: n/a
FACTOR 3: STORYLINES
AEW tried to get Cody's championship aspirations over and helped push a reason to see Moxley vs. Pac for next week, while confirming a match for Full Gear and furthering the feud between Lucha Bros and SCU.
NXT mostly revolved around the North American title situation. I liked what they did there, but some of the other things (like Killian Dain's part of the show) was just meh.
WINNER: AEW
FACTOR 4: SCHEDULING / PACING
Both actually felt fine to me this week. Some of the matches on AEW might have needed a little bit of a breather, but in contrast, some of the breaks from NXT might not have been necessary, so it's kind of a wash.
WINNER: tie
EXTRA CREDIT BONUS ROUND!!!
No bonus or negative points for either shows this week.
POINT ADJUSTMENTS: AEW (+0 / -0) / NXT (+0 / -0)
THIS WEEK'S WINNER = AEW
That's my pick for the better show of the week, but how do YOU stand?
Which was better, Dynamite or NXT?
