AEW and NXT went head-to-head on Sunday night with NXT running NXT Battleground and AEW running AEW Double or Nothing.
AEW and WWE are set for more events running on the same day with both promotions having events scheduled for July 12th, though they will take place at separate times with AEW All In in the afternoon and WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in the evening.
Speaking at the AEW Double or Nothing press conference, Tony Khan was asked by Mark Hoke about the counter-programming.
"It's pretty consistent. I'd say it's the most consistent event head-to-head scheduling I've seen since Jim Crockett Promotions saw a lot of scheduling that went that way. I can tell you this will go a lot differently than that did," said Tony.
Jim Crockett Promotions was eventually sold to Turner Broadcasting and became WCW due to WWE counter-programming JCP events.
