Chris Jericho advises NXT to move to Tuesdays as AEW is embarrassing them

The Wednesday Night Wars are far from over as AEW continues to battle against NXT every Wednesday. So far AEW has been getting more viewers than NXT. Chris Jericho seemingly takes joy in this, as he calls himself the Demo God.

 


 

Chris Jericho spoke to Inside The Ropes, where he advised WWE to move NXT to Tuesdays for their own good. He said they should stop being so concerned over AEW and focus on themselves. If they did that, then NXT could gain an additional 250,000 viewers every week.

Jericho also added that no one at AEW backstage watches NXT every week. He said that NXT is only hurting themselves at this point.

“I’m going to ask you one question .Why is NXT on a Wednesday night? (Alex McCarthy answers that it’s to oppose Dynamite). Exactly, they came on Wednesday just to mess with us. Take your head out of your ass and go make money. Don’t worry about our company. We’re not worried about you. We don’t have a screen up that shows what’s going on every moment on NXT, like they do watching Dynamite.”

“Leave us alone. Do your own thing. Go to Tuesday’s. Grab an extra 250,000 viewers. Finally get your demo where it needs to be because it’s pretty embarrassing on a Wednesday night to go up against us. ‘The Demo God’ thing is is not a gimmick. It’s real. So go. Go to Tuesday, go to Sunday [or] go to any other day you want, but don’t exist just to mess with us because we’re beating you every week. It’s kind of embarrassing for NXT at this point.”

“So I think you should throw the red flag, retreat, go to Tuesday, make Tuesday your night, make more money, get more viewers, get more guys over and don’t worry about what we’re doing because we’re going to continue on either way, and we’re winning every week anyways, so just go your own way. That’s the best way to do it.”

USA Network themselves wanted NXT to move to Tuesdays, but it seems WWE will carry on airing NXT on Wednesdays.
