1) Backstage Meeting With The NXT Locker Room
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about NXT moving to Tuesday nights. Meltzer says that Triple H called a meeting with the NXT locker room about the move. During this meeting, Triple H allegedly said that AEW “tried to bully them”.
Here is what Meltzer said (via Wrestletalk):
“Okay so, the team meeting before the show tonight (Wednesday, March 31) about the move to Tuesday. So they started out talking about how, six years ago at WrestleMania 31, the little NXT promotion sold out a show and ‘look how far we’ve come’, since the San Jose show. And they’ve always been on Wednesday nights, and then the competition came to ‘their night’ and ‘tried to bully them’. Which by the way is the opposite of what they told the talent 18 months ago.
“But now, now they have Raw as the ‘lead-in’. It used to be in television the lead-in is where you (directly) follow the show, not the next day. But now they have Raw as the lead-in and the night to themselves, ‘everything is going to change’. They’re going to be going up in ratings probably a solid percentage.”
My Take:
- I am not sure about this one. Seems like it could be a case of broken telephone. I can’t picture Triple H saying that but that might just be me. We will have to wait for more details.
