Tonight WWE NXT & AEW go head-to-head in an EPIC battle of television supremacy! But before that, both were fighting it out on Wednesday nights at the same time from October 2019 to April 2021.

Join Richie Mars and Seth, who watched the first wrestling war between WWF and WCW, as they go through all the decisions both WWE and AEW made through unbiased eyes!

Why was NXT Black and Gold and the momentum of AEW Dynamite destined to decline in popularity?
