Although WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque has openly stated that there is no war between the sports entertainment capital and the second-largest professional wrestling enterprise, AEW, it seems apparent that there is. After this weekend’s NXT The Great American Bash: Atlanta clashed with AEW All In Texas, WWE and AEW will lock horns again soon.
WWE Announces NXT Heatwave on the Same Day As AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door
AEW and NJPW’s Forbidden Door supershow is scheduled to emanate on August 24 at The O2 Arena in London, England. While the card has not been booked yet, the show as usual guarantees some major players in the professional wrestling scene in action. WWE looks to compete with that as it has announced NXT’s Heatwave event on the very same day, confirming the heavy rumors heading into this weekend’s NXT event.
