#3 Matching NXT in terms of genuine surprises
As I mentioned in another article, when WWE and WCW were on at the same time, I was just a little kid. It was quite an experience to be part of the Sportskeeda Writer's Chat, with half of us watching one show and the other half watching another, announcing the big surprises and swerves.
AEW knew that NXT had set up a very stacked show filled with many big matches, and there were bound to be surprises throughout the course of the night as well. Jack Swagger was their one big surprise, which is fine because the focus right now should be to promote the roster rather than dwell on surprises.
Could Jack Swagger match up to the genuine shock of Finn Balor's return to NXT or the fact that Ciampa is now back? I suppose that there's a Marvel vs. DC element here because you will tend to back the brand that you believe in more and support considering things like these cannot be quantified.
I know it's a cliche but I really do mean it when I say that the fans won this week. I'll give the nod to AEW as someone living outside the USA, because at least we had a legal way to watch the program!
