WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAR:
AEW DYNAMITE vs. NXT
FACTOR 1: MATCHES
AEW had some good matches, but my favorite of the two shows was NXT, mostly due to Shirai/LeRae, the women's tag title match and the main event.
WINNER: NXT
FACTOR 2: PROMOS
AEW = I wasn't a big fan of the Cody limo situation, but at least Jon Moxley had a decent mic moment and Ortiz and Santana jumped The Rock n Roll Express before they could talk too much.
NXT = Finn Balor's promo left much to the imagination.
WINNER: AEW
FACTOR 3: STORYLINES
NXT set up two War Games matches, which AEW crowned new tag team champions and further pushed some things for Full Gear. Both could have had more, but neither was bad.
WINNER: Tie
FACTOR 4: SCHEDULING / PACING
I really wish Finn Balor's promo was moved elsewhere, but I think AEW had a few more hiccups in pacing this week. Not by much, but I found myself a little more confused by the placement of things.
WINNER: NXT
EXTRA CREDIT BONUS ROUND!!!
No adjustments this week for either show, even though I'm tempted to both give and take a point away for that Poppy thing on NXT.
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?
