WWE and AEW fans are riled up once again after an alleged shot fired by Triple H and his team. The Stamford-based company has announced a show that will go head-to-head with the next supershow from AEW and NJPW. Fans have shared varied reactions, but many have pointed to how this latest announcement comes after other signs of dominance from the global sports entertainment juggernaut.
All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling previously announced Forbidden Door IV for Sunday, August 24, in London, England, at a venue to be announced. WWE then revealed that its next UK tour will stop in Newcastle, England, at Utilita Arena on the same day. Manchester is more than four hours from the UK capital.
WWE previously announced NXT Battleground for May 25, the same day as All Elite Wrestling's seventh annual Double or Nothing pay-per-view. WWE also has Saturday Night's Main Event 40 booked for July 12 in Tampa, the same day as All In: Texas will emanate from Austin.
