AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT will once again go head-to-head on October 8 and it has Nicholas Jackson feeling nostalgic for the Wednesday Night War.
All Elite Wrestling EVPs the Young Bucks recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed. When asked if he views NXT loading up their show on October 8 against Dynamite’s upcoming “Title Tuesday” as a compliment, Nicholas said he does because competition breeds excellence.
“Absolutely,” Nicholas Jackson said. “Competition breeds excellence. One thing I actually kind of miss is when we’d battle it out weekly on Wednesday nights. It was exciting, seeing who would have the better night. It makes you feel more alive.”

During the same interview, Jackson spoke about some critics predicting AEW’s demise for years. The company continues to thrive, but that doesn’t stop people from moving the goalposts.
“People have been predicting our demise since Hangman flipped his phone over and showed the world the AEW logo on that special Being The Elite episode,” Nicholas Jackson said. “People have been rooting against my brother and me, specifically, our entire lives. But I don’t know if we’d know what to do with ourselves if we didn’t have that chip on our shoulders.
“It’s kind of all we know. I have learned though, that you can keep proving the doubters wrong, they’ll just continue to move the goalpost. It’s a fool’s errand if you think you’ll ever change their minds. So let it fuel you all you want. Let it inspire you. But don’t think they’re all of a sudden going to have that lightbulb moment and admit they’re wrong.
“That’s never going to happen. They’ll find a new thing to claim against you, they’ll continue to engagement farm. They’ll continue to parrot silly nicknames from shock-jock grifters. Just win for yourself and let history speak for itself. With more unprecedented success comes even more noise.”
