They were both great shows! AEW has a unique mix of new school/old school/MMA/Sports style broadcast and it should stay fresh every week. The Riho/Nyla Rose match was really good, and the angle at the end was insane. Kenny Omega didn't wrestle much, but when he did he looked so much better than anyone else, on any roster really. I personally think he's the best wrestler in the world right now.

NXT basically put on a Takeover PPV event last night. It was an amazing show, and the matches were actually better than AEW's. They can't do that every week though. NXT looks low-rent though in that gymnasium. It was fine if it's a developmental show on the internet, but if they are competing with AEW, they need to put the show on the road.

AEW did 1.4 million viewers and NXT did 890K. AEW doubled NXT's 18-49 demo. That's day 1 though, can't draw much conclusions on that number. If this trend continues, expect Vince to go into panic mode and ruin NXT.

I'm more interested to see what Smackdown is like tomorrow. It's going to be HUGE. RAW seemed so much better with the new PBP guy (Jerry as always was great, the other guy seemed really nervous). But now we're back to Michael Cole screaming into our ears for 2 hours, repeating stupid catch phrases.
