WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite are set to reignite their rivalry with two head-to-head broadcasts in 2024.

• October 8: AEW will air “Title Tuesday”
• November 6: NXT moves to Wednesday due to U.S. Presidential election

Why it matters

These showdowns revive the competitive spirit of the “Wednesday Night War” era, offering fans a taste of the direct competition that defined wrestling from 2019 to 2021.

By the numbers

• 18 months: Duration of the original weekly head-to-head competition
• 2: Number of planned direct competitions in 2024

What they’re saying

“I can report that on Wednesday, November 6, NXT will be live on Wednesday due to election night here in the US… There’ll be a lot of attention on who the next president of the United States will be. So in wise fashion, they were able to move their night off of Tuesday and will be airing on Wednesday, November 6, which will be going head-to-head with Dynamite,” – WrestleVotes on WrestleVotes Radio.
