WWE Rumor Roundup: Kofi Kingston unhappy with WWE, Big match for Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania and more - 3rd November 2020

#3 Jim Ross takes shots at WWE

Jim Ross has once again taken shots at WWE for scheduling NXT on Wednesday nights at the same time as AEW Dynamite. The WWE Hall of Famer claims that Vince McMahon decided to put WWE's yellow brand on TV to see if AEW would cripple.

While talking on his Grilling JR podcast, the AEW commentator said:

"How's that working? How's that brilliant evil strategy? Going head to head is good in a boardroom, it's good in a rah-rah meeting, but at the end of the day, you bring more people to a television set that are wrestling fans at 8 o' clock eastern time on Wednesday night because you've got two brands now that the audience can sample."

"They can watch one, they can DVR one, they can switch back and forth, whatever the hell you do. But to think it's going to cripple it? Look at the bigger picture. It's been the excuse in wrestling forever. Unscrupulous, unethical situations are always justified by saying 'it's just business'. Well, it's just business that we're kicking your a** every [Wednesday] night." h/t WrestlingInc)

AEW have been beating WWE NXT in the ratings for a long time now and the company's viewership seems to be rising.
