5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know (September 2nd, 2019)

#1 The Wednesday Night Wars going to the next level?

The two shows will go head to head later this year in what fans are calling the Wednesday Night Wars.

Though both WWE and All Elite Wrestling have claimed that there isn't a war between the two promotions, it sure feels like one.

After the success of AEW's recent All Out Pay Per View, the company will launch their TV show on TNT next month, which will go up against WWE's NXT, which has been extended to two hours and moved to the USA Network.

This will see both shows air at the same time, and according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter this week, the WWE could already be planning their next strike.

Since it's relaunch as a developmental brand in the summer of 2012, NXT has become one of the most popular aspects of WWE programming, with many fans preferring it to RAW or SmackDown Live.

It'll be interesting to see whether the company can keep this seven-year momentum going when the yellow brand launches on the USA Network next month.
