Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Night Wars open discussion thread, featuring the fallout from NXT TakeOver: Portland up against an AEW Dynamite from Atlanta featuring a Tag Team Battle Royal, a Steel Cage Match and the AEW in-ring debut of Jeff Cobb.
On tonight’s cards:
AEW Dynamite
- Steel Cage Match: Cody vs. Wardlow
- Jon Moxley vs. Jeff Cobb
- AEW Tag Team Championship Match: Hangman & Omega vs. The Lucha Bros
- Tag Team #1 Contendership Battle Royal
NXT
- Velveteen Dream vs. Roderick Strong
- NXT Cruiserweight Championship Match: Jordan Devlin (c) vs. Lio Rush
- Chelsea Green vs. Kayden Carter
- Some kind of fallout from Johnny Gargano’s heel turn at TakeOver: Portland
Johnny Gargano shocked the NXT Universe at TakeOver: Portland when he bashed Tommaso Ciampa with the NXT Championship, bringing The Blackheart’s quest to reclaim Goldie and his life to a screeching halt. Why did Gargano attack Ciampa just weeks removed from their tag team reunion at Worlds Collide? Will Johnny Wrestling explain himself?
