WWE NXT Philadelphia takes place one week before AEW residency
WWE seems to be actively counter-programming All Elite Wrestling, with the upcoming NXT show set to take place one week before AEW kicks off their residency at the former ECW Arena.
Speaking of counter-programming, this weekend will see three WWE premium live events hovering around All: In Texas with NXT Great American Bash going head-to-head with AEW’s biggest pay-per-view event of the year.
