10 WWE Decisions AEW SHOULD BE Scared Of

10. NXT's Start Date

By design or happy accident, WWE have played a blinder with the scheduling of their redefined NXT in a manner that mirrors how Eric Bischoff kicked off WCW Nitro the last time two organisations went head-to-head on the same night of the week.

They...didn't go head-to-head.

Bischoff picked September 4th 1995 to launch his show because there wasn't competition that week. Raw's preemption was a perfect opportunity for 'Easy E' to find the existing wrestling audience looking for something else to watch and capture them with familiar faces and hot angles.

Two weeks before All Elite Wrestling launch their weekly show, WWE can do the same with NXT. The gulf in numbers between those that watch WWE and its developmental brand is unknown, but the company have a fortnight to transpose one on to the other and make AEW seem inferior in the process.

Bischoff found several ways to reduce the value of Raw when it was on the air, let alone when it wasn't - can he be the one to offer any advice on how to do the same at a critical stage of a nascent war?
