NXT Showdown vs. TNA falls flat | AEW booking confounds | Santos Escobar, Kota Ibushi

WWE's NXT and AEW went head-to-head on Tuesday with NXT Showdown battling AEW Title Tuesday for eyeballs. Host Adam Silverstein opens by diving into the latest wrestling news [2:15] involving Santos Escobar, Kota Ibushi, Karrion Kross and MVP before breaking down both shows. "The Silver King" tackles NXT [13:35] where the head-to-head with TNA Wrestling left a lot to be desired despite Ethan Page and Mustafa Ali putting on the match of the week. The Survivor Series matches failed to deliver as The Hardys won the NXT tag team in fun yet depressing fashion. Adam then breaks down AEW [28:45] with Samoa Joe working hard to build his title match with Hangman Page, Orange Cassidy vs. Pac going off the rails, Darby Allin introducing a Molotov cocktail against the Death Riders, Kris Statlander and Toni Storm being relegated to Collision alongside an overall refusal to tell stories that drastically impacted both shows.
