During Wednesdayâs AEW Dynamite post-show on YouTube, Jim Ross and Taz talked about the competition between AEW and WWE NXT. They started talking about the younger AEW talent when Ross then questioned why anyone watches NXT live. He suggested instead just recording it and watching the show later.
The conversation all started around 17 minutes into the live stream.
âThis is going to sound real a**-kissing, but why is there even a choice on Wednesday nights. DVR NXT, watch it later, our s**tâs better. Iâm proud of being able to say that, itâs not in defiance, itâs just in reality.â
Taz noted that he doesnât remember the last time he watched NXT.
âI donât remember the last time I even watched their show, thatâs no bulls**t. I really donât give a rats a** about it. I respect the men and women there that are bumping and working. Iâm not trying to be a homerâŠIâm so locked into what we do.â
Ross stated WWE never mentions AEW because theyâre arrogant. He pointed out how AEW is trying to build their program but he mentions during the show that AEW stars that have WWE backgrounds.
âHereâs us going on Wednesday nights on TNT, and I mention guys all the time who have WWE backgrounds, so f**king what.â
Taz also took a shot at WWE for insulting the intelligence of their fan base.
âYou will get people on the YouTube comments be like, âAll there it is again, AEW complaining about WWE,â no dumb sh**s, what weâre doing is not insulting your intelligence, and weâre acknowledging WWE. They are the ones insulting your intelligence, we bring them up, theyâre relevant, weâre relevant.â
Taz added that theyâre trying to be transparent when they bring up WWE or the ratings for the fans. They are not going to pretend that fans donât know about WWE.
