    Shawn Michaels Doesn’t Want WWE NXT PPV’s Going Head To Head With AEW
    LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 08: WWE personality Shawn Michaels appears at a news conference announcing the WWE Network at the 2014 International CES at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on January 8, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The network will launch on February 24, 2014 as the first-ever 24/7 streaming network, offering both scheduled programs and video on demand.

    We’re about to enter a major weekend of events for WWE. This Saturday brings Night of Champions 2023, live from Saudi Arabia. Generally, Saturday is when fans expect to see PPV events from the companies NXT brand – but Battleground instead airs on Sunday night.

    This puts it head to head with the latest All Elite Wrestling PPV, Double or Nothing 2023. Shawn Michaels isn’t thrilled about this level of competition, and admits he wants to avoid it in the future.

    Shawn Michaels Wants Less Competition For NXT Show

    During the media call for NXT Battleground, Shawn Michaels would state that he would prefer to have less competition for NXT PPV’s going forward – with this weekend being an oddity for the brand. Michaels had the following to say.

     

    To the best of my knowledge, no. For me, and for us, the WWE as a whole, as I’m always honest with you guys, clearly there are people far more important than me that make decisions that they don’t tell me about. For us, this was about a big Memorial Day weekend for WWE. Even though it’s a little switched around, for us, it’s a little bit of a throwback to when we would have joint weekends with NXT on Saturday and WWE pay-per-views on Sunday.

    This is just flip-flopped with Night of Champions on Saturday, especially coming in the afternoon, everyone felt it was a good combination to have NXT on Sunday night and create a big WWE weekend for WWE fans. For me, personally, I would love to have as many standalone weekends on us as we can get. No different than having to go up against the (NBA & NHL) playoffs for the last several weeks. As much as I’m a basketball fan or NHL fan, it thrills me when the playoffs are done. The less competition we can get, the better,”

    Full Card For NXT Battleground

    The card for NXT Battleground is as follows:

    NXT Championship: Carmelo Hayes (c) vs. Bron Breakker

    NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Noam Dar (c) vs. Dragon Lee

    NXT Women’s Championship Finals: Tiffany Stratton vs. Lyra Valkyria

    NXT Tag Team Championship: Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) (c) vs. The Creed Brothers (Julius & Brutus Creed)

    NXT North American Championship: Wes Lee (c) vs. Joe Gacy vs. Tyler Bate

    Last Man Standing: Ilja Dragunov vs. Dijak

    A wrestling fan practically since birth, who has been hooked since he got his first toy wrestling ring for Christmas as a child. Since getting access to the internet, he's watched more wrestling than he could ever remember from all around the world. It's hard to keep track of what happens in the wild world of professional wrestling, but he always tries to stay up to date. Note: No relation to Tully Blanchard of Four Horsemen fame (probably).
