On some occasions you'd get a high profile match that would have been Takeover worthy in terms of status. First three weeks of NXT on USA was basically a roided up version of Network era NXT and last week being closer to normal but still leaning wrestling-heavy.

They literally put a WWE-like effort on the build for the Cruiser title change and rushed Strong's title win solely so they could lazily have the storyline of Undisputed Era holding all the gold be done on week 1.
Oh, you're right about the first part. That was always going to be the case when they moved to USA. I'm not suggesting that they are slumming it, but there's this myth around places that Triple H is really sweating this thing. He's letting AEW tire themselves out before going for the KO.

I actually thought they would do Dream vs. Strong on the third episode. But I don't think it was surprising or rushed.
