In an interview conducted by Sportskeeda, The Best Bout Machine made some rather interesting comments regarding the subject of The Wednesday Night Wars surrounding AEW and WWE NXT that stirred up quite a controversy over the Internet. Both of the programs would be broadcasted at the same time, although on different networks.
Omega’s comments
Kenny Omega said in the interview with Sportskeeda that although he doesn’t necessarily view the competition between AEW and WWE NXT as a war, he referred to the Superstars of The Black and Yellow Brand as developmental talents and said that they if they were in the same promotion with Kenny, they would only get to wrestle in dark matches or be in the picture for his main event match.
He further added that people would get to witness “real stars” in the form of AEW’s roster in their television sets every week instead of developmental talents.
Jim Cornette’s views on the matter
Jim Cornette, while discussing on the matter alluded to the fact that the co-host & producer of the podcast, The Great Brian Last, had thought of Kenny Omega’s comments on NXT as a scripted promo rather than Omega’s original views on the matter and that he might have been in character during the interview.
Cornette also asked Brian if he thought that Omega was switching his character from that of a babyface to a heel and if he had any insight on the matter, to which Brian replied that he did not really have any information, but he thought that they might have been doing this to make him more interesting as a character, and present him to a much wider audience in the United States.
Cornette further added:
He wrapped up the session by praising NXT’s athletic talent and said that they are probably the only competitor to AEW in terms of audience viewership. He concluded by saying that the audience would see through Omega’s comical gestures and if given the opportunity, certain wrestlers at NXT may outperform Omega.
