Chris Jericho recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and he talked about WWE's decision to move NXT to the USA Network. There was no announcement about that during last night's
RAW but a number of reliable sources are claiming that's the case because WWE wants to counter-programme All Elite Wrestling's weekly show on TNT.
"By adding another 2 hours, that really dilutes their product," Jericho argued. "It dilutes their mindset. It dilutes their focus. It’s a reactionary move. It’s done by a guy who wants to start a war when we don’t care if you want to start a war. That was never our intention. There’s no war for us. We’re just doing what we’re doing. Some people don’t like that and they’re reacting to it."
It's a good point from Jericho, especially as it's another hour that WWE is expecting fans to tune into and could hurt SmackDown Live on Friday nights as they'll have had their fill by the end of the week.
"I don’t care about any other wrestling company in the world," he added. "I want everyone to do good. Everyone do what you wanna do, be the best you can be. We don’t care and I think that’s one of the reasons it makes us cool. It’s a typical thing, the more other people do, the more it makes us look revolutionary and cool and we haven’t even started yet."
What Jericho is saying is definitely interesting but it's hard to believe those in AEW are happy about this and we know for a fact that there are a lot of top stars in the company who do view this as a war!
