WWE is seemingly on a mission to wipe AEW from the map. Since the TKO takeover, the sports entertainment juggernaut has been focused on counterprogramming. For the majority of the year, NXT's major events have clashed with AEW's pay-per-views. Despite the efforts, the Jacksonville-based promotion has been doing good work in 2025.For the first time, WWE decided to put on a major Premium Live Event against the rival company. Wrestlepalooza was going to be head-to-head against All Out. Both events will be held on September 20th. However, a few days ago, Tony Khan changed the timing of the event.As per Wrestling Observer Radio's Bryan Alvarez, the Triple H-led promotion will actively try to oppose more shows in 2026. They even tried to move Wrestlepalooza earlier after Tony Khan's move, but it was too late."There are a lot of discussions about what they're gonna do head-to-head next. I knew when (Tony Khan) moved (All Out), I knew when he blinked, it was gonna be trouble, and be ready for that in 2026. It's too late to move (Wrestlepalooza), I actually thought there was a chance that once Tony moved it earlier, WWE was gonna move it earlier as well, apparently they decided it was too late to do that," he said.
