The heart of the matter
While talking about the show on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray stated that Vince McMahon will probably come up with something to counter AEW's TNT debut. Ray added that Vince has something up his sleeve to tackle the competition.
He’ll probably do like a Saturday Night’s Main Event on Wednesday and load it to the b**ls just to fight AEW on their first night.
Ray compared the possible scenario with WCW's Clash of the Champions taking on WrestleMania, decades ago. According to Ray, WWE will want to capture their fans who might want to try and sample AEW's programming on October 2nd.
WWE runs of the risk of their fanbase checking out AEW. If they check it out, they might like it better.
What's next?
AEW's first show will debut on TNT on October 2nd, and only time will tell whether WWE will come up with something to counter AEW.
Do you think Ray's prediction could come true?
