10 HUGE WWE SmackDown Season Premiere Predictions You Need To Know
3. Wednesday Night Wound
NXT took a battering in the first ratings head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, and though the black-and-yellow brand finds its home on USA Network, it may serve WWE to send some Fox newbies over to Wednesday night.
The trick, ultimately, may be to at least do something rather than nothing to promote next week's edition.
This could come in the form of a highlight package from this week's exhilarating edition, a mini-invasion by the gold-laced Undisputed Era, or perhaps a "this is not goodbye" address from departing main roster star Finn Bálor.
There are plenty of ways for WWE to skin this cat, but they need to do something other than kick it after such a damaging defeat, There will surely be a point during this "marathon" where the company takes control of the numbers, but from Vince McMahon downwards, nobody is beyond using the company's mammoth marketing muscle to try and expedite NXT's ratings recovery.
