Triple H Explains Why He Doesn’t See NXT As Competiton For AEW

It can’t be easy being someone like Triple H, who needs to churn out the company line in whichever interview he happens to be doing that day.

The main thing he finds himself trying to explain these days is that AEW is not competition and that the decision to move NXT to a live two hour slot on Wednesday nights was just a coincidence.

Speaking to TalkSport, Trips explained that NXT isn’t trying to compete with anyone whatsoever, and that WWE was simply taking an opportunity to put NXT on Wednesday nights to give it more exposure.

“To me, people can say what they want, how they want. I don’t approach it like as a competitive thing or it’s anything else, we’re just going to put on our shows. We’re going to put on our shows when we need to put them on, in the best places we need to put them on, in the right timeslots for them and the best talent I can find in the world – and we already have them. I’m confident in that. When I look across the board at NXT in general and NXT in the UK here, we put on show after show of the highest calibre – not one match or two matches, the entire show. So I have no doubt.

“For me it’s not competitive against anyone or anything, I just want to put on the best show for the fans of NXT, the fans here in Cardiff tonight, the fans around the world – that’s all this is. It’s funny because a few years ago we were doing this and doing the same kind of thing, wowing people, and there wasn’t competitors out there. So I guess we were just doing it for competitive reasons then? To compete with ourselves?”

You heard it here first, folks, NXT is not trying to compete with anyone, and especially not AEW.
