>>14990070I never actually considered the take that NXT's new deal might have an impact on AEW's. It was always just treated like a sweetner for USA when it came to Raw rights but now that it hit the market you'd could argue that it actually does act as a bellwether.
It's the only show that's up YOY, it's creeping up on Dynamite's numbers and the market said "We'll give you a 70% raise", which sounds good but it's still only 20-25 million a year for NXT. That's the market for a show that's actually improving. Now I can understand paying more the entire AEW umbrella, but that right there should tell you that talks abouts doubling the yearly amount should be off the table, especially when you've been on the downslide. I just don't see how you justify giving them more than 1.3-1.4X increase that Raw and Smack have gotten.
