Bleacher Report recently caught up with Cody Rhodes to discuss a number of topics and the All Elie Wrestling star admitted to being intrigued to see where NXT goes next now that it's making the leap to the USA Network (something which may lead to Vince McMahon becoming far more involved with what we see on television).
"I'm oddly intrigued to see what Vince McMahon does with NXT," Rhodes said. "My dad was instrumental in building the NXT brand. For a long time, It had been a developmental project. For Vince to now bring it to the USA Network as if it's a full brand, I'm just intrigued by it."
"I think the most important night in all of wrestling is now Wednesday nights," Rhodes continued. "The best wrestling is going to be happening on Wednesday nights. It's destination TV, and when's the last time wrestling was destination TV? It's now must-watch, and I'm not going to complain about that...Wrestling fans now have a choice, and I hope they choose us."
It's a great point and being able to choose between NXT and AEW is no bad thing for wrestling fans. Modern technology means that people can watch both, of course, but it's probably AEW that will benefit most from viewers tuning in live every Wednesday night.
What do you guys think about Rhodes' comments?
