3 Reasons WWE Putting NXT head to head against AEW is a good idea, and 3 Reasons it may not be

Not a Good Idea #1: AEW has bigger name stars than NXT

NXT has many of the best and brightest upcoming wrestling stars working today. Men like Johnny Gargano, Adam Cole, Matt Riddle, and Keith Lee are the future of the pro wrestling industry.

But what All Elite Wrestling offers isn't the future, it's the present, with a healthy dose of nostalgia thrown in. When Chris Jericho signed with All Elite Wrestling, it was considered a major coup and rightfully so. Jericho is a rare breed of a wrestler, having worked nigh continuously in the industry for over twenty-five years and always finding a way to be in the discussion of sports entertainment's top stars. Jericho has subtly tweaked his character every so often to keep himself fresh and relevant.

Besides Jericho, AEW also boasts Christopher Daniels, one of the most admired ring technicians of all time, and the aforementioned Kenny Omega, largely believed to be the best active wrestler in the world.

WWE is trying to pit unproven stars against well-known commodities, and it could be a mistake.
