4. WWE took the money because they are a publicly traded company
5. AEW trademarked Tuesday Night Dynamite, intending to take over the 2 hours of wrestling no longer on Tuesdays
6. TNT said no and offered Wednesday
7. Any idiot like Jericho spinning that angle is extra dumb because his drunk ass APPEARED on NXT on Wednesday nights.
8. Even WITHOUT NXT on Wednesdays, Dynamite lost 300,000 viewers since last year by their own booking.

Why are you Cultist such staunch defenders of the Dub?
Fucking tell ‘em.

I’m sure counter-programming was a happy little byproduct of airing Wednesdays (which worked, by the way — AEW is cold), but WWE clearly operates for profits first. Getting NXT on television was a way to make up for the costs the Performance Center runs up.
