The whole idea that the WWE were desperate as shit to stop AEW (And FAILED! Lol!) is an AEW/Dave Meltzer fiction. I heard a YouTube clip from Dave and in the same show he said both that the WWE was trying to load up NXT to destroy Dynamite, and that WWE didn’t promote the show. People want to have their cake and eat it in numerous different ways, because WWE =bad, AEW = good.
Charlotte showing up for a program in NXT is the WWE moving heaven and earth to crush AEW. Cody doing moonsaults off cages in build-ups to PPVs isn’t hot-shotting. WWE drops an angle, it’s “Stupid WWE and their bad storytelling.” AEW does it and it’s “long-term storytelling.” The dialogue is so skewered, and that’s always been one of my biggest problems with it.
The WWE could have had Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton and whoever the fuck they wanted on NXT in that slot every week and it would have been fair. Charlotte, The Revival and a one-off appearance from Sasha Banks (who is probably the biggest mover there), is not them taking the gloves off.
