'They
should move to any other night, get away from us'
- Chris Jericho slams WWE with a bold statement -
4th September 2020
"They
lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat
and moving to a different night." Chris Jericho
had a lot more to say.
There
are rumors about WWE possibly moving NXT to a different
night.
AEW
Dynamite and NXT have aired on different days for
the past few weeks. As expected, the results have
been quite positive for both companies. Both shows
have drawn huge numbers without any competition, and
there is also talk about NXT possibly moving out from
the Wednesday slot. Chris Jericho, who has always
been on the offensive when it comes to AEW's ratings
victories over WWE, has sent another bold message
to the WWE.
During
a recent appearance on the Busted
Open radio show, the Demo God addressed the rumors
of WWE contemplating a change of day for NXT.
Chris
Jericho said that he wasn't surprised that the WWE
was planning on retreating from the Wednesday Night
Wars. The AEW Superstar sent a direct message to his
former employers that they should move to another
night. Chris Jericho felt that WWE had a great program,
and their spiteful tactic of going up against AEW
was only hurting NXT's ratings.
Chris
Jericho says WWE should just conceit defeat
Chris
Jericho declared that AEW isn't going anywhere and
that Dynamite would continue to beat NXT. Jericho
felt that WWE retreating is the right move from a
business standpoint. 'Le Champion' isn't bothered
about NXT breaching the 800k or 900k barriers as he
and AEW are focussed on getting over the 1 million
mark. He also spoke about the importance of the 18-49
demographic.
Chris
Jericho said that the WWE lost, and there is nothing
wrong for them to conceit defeat. The former AEW World
Champion concluded by proclaiming that no one can
stop All Elite Wrestling.
Here's
Chris Jericho's full statement on the rumors of WWE
moving to another night and the ongoing ratings war:
"Once
again, it was never a war for me. This is a war that
was thrust upon us by a company that is very petty
and very spiteful, and we know the reason why NXT
was moved to Wednesday nights. To mess with us. We
get it. We pay attention to what we are doing. We
don't care what they're doing, and we have no interest
in it. If you watch us, you get the ratings, where
we beat them week after week. We beat them in the
demos where people think it's jokes. The only thing
that matters is the TV networks and advertisers that
listed the 18-49 demo. Look it up. We win every week.
They should retreat. They should move to any other
night. Get away from us! You guys got a great program,
and it's good; why would you want to sacrifice your
own ratings just to be spiteful and petty to go head
to head with AEW? We're not going anywhere and put
on anything you want - we'll continue to beat you.
It is a retreat, but it's also the right move from
a business standpoint. Get your head out of your rear
end and just worry about your product the same way
we worry about ours. If they move to Tuesday, smart
move. That way, you guys can get your 850 thousand,
900 thousand. Whatever! Get 10 million viewers. Congratulations!
Let us do our thing, and we'll get over a million.
I think it's a smart move business-wise on theirs.
They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat,
moving to a different night, and worrying about your
show and not worrying about going head to head with
AEW because you can't stop us." H/t WrestlingInc
While
Chris Jericho is just doing his job of putting over
AEW, many fans would argue that both shows airing
on different nights would be the right decision as
they can watch both shows. The ratings and viewership
figures from the past few weeks have proven that putting
out shows on separate days could be ideal for moving
forward.
Also,
don't forget to check out the latest interview from
Sportskeeda in which our very own Gary Cassidy caught
up with Chris Jericho. The legendary star discussed
a plethora of topics, including the possibility of
Brock Lesnar coming to AEW, the origins of his nickname,
Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, and much more.
