MJF has revealed a new idea he pitched to AEW President Tony Khan that could revisit one of wrestling’s most modern promotional rivalries.
Speaking on Late Night Grin, MJF said he pitched a “Wednesday Night Wars” documentary to Tony Khan, suggesting AEW now has the right mix of talent to tell the story from both sides.
“We literally won, and we have guys that work in our company now that were on the other side. It would be f****** sick. You can sit down [Adam Cole] and [Roderick Strong], Kyle [O’Reilly] and Swerve. You know, all these guys that were on the other side of the war…you can’t sit down, Bobby Fish unfortunately…I mean, folks, where’s the lie?” he said, referencing Bobby Fish’s well-known phrase.
What Were The “Wednesday Night Wars” MJF Spoke About?
The “Wednesday Night Wars” began in 2019 when WWE moved WWE NXT to the USA Network, placing it head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on Wednesday nights.
On the first night of direct competition, Dynamite drew 1.4 million viewers, comfortably ahead of NXT’s 891,000. AEW would go on to win the majority of weekly ratings battles until 2021, when WWE shifted NXT to Tuesday nights, bringing the rivalry to an end.
