This week was the first time NXT was able to beat AEW Dynamite in rating owing to the teased surprise appearances from main roster stars on the show.
The NXT Champion Adam Cole was the first to react to the news and during an interview with the Wrap, the Undisputed Era member said that it was an absolute blast:
“We’re just mainly focused on trying to put on a really exciting, cool show. And last night’s show was just an absolute blast, with the guys from ‘Raw,’ the guys from ‘SmackDown,’ the matches that happened, it was just a really, really cool night and so I’m glad so many people enjoyed it.”
Cody Rhodes was the first AEW star to react and when a fan asked him to comment on their loss, he said that ‘excuses are for a****les:
Take it on the chin, learn from it, get up off the mat and get to work.
Excuses are for assholes.

Though probably the most interesting reaction came from the Le Champion of AEW Chris Jericho who reminded everyone that it’s a marathon and not a sprint:
Remember guys, it’s a marathon not a sprint….. 😝
