They were reports today where Israel was unhappy with the name. Of course they arent going to say that on tv.

Bruh it's absolutely WWE caving to Zios
I will gladly take the L on this as I was at work all day hadn't heard anything about wrestling news since early morning.
I was pretty excited to have the name invasion come back too, but not exactly the best look to name a show invasion on the exact anniversary of the invasion that killed 1200 people. I don’t think you need to be a Zionist to think that’s not a good idea.

They really should’ve did this as a PLE and not an NXT show and did it in November during the weekend of Survivor Series. It would’ve made perfect sense.
Big Boss Man is right.

There's a good reason they're doing this next week. AEW is intentionally competing with NXT this week with a loaded "Homecoming" show, so NXT needs something big to counter.

The two companies are perpetually in competition but to frame it as AEW intentionally competing with NXT is wild since it's deadass the 6th Anniversary show, which they do every year on the anniversary of Dynamite :lol

Blame playoff baseball for that.

Maybe could've moved to TNT that night, but it's because of baseball being on TBS that Wednesday, so not really intentional

To be fair, I don’t even care if AEW wants to counter program WWE because WWE has been doing it to AEW all year. This is the war everybody wanted since the 90s. Let’s get some competition going.

I don't disagree. I just find it ironic that when WWE intentionally competes the mindset is WWE is Evil. When AEW intentionally competes they are given a free pass.

When WWE has been preempted in the past like 10 years they just move to a different channel (Fox to FS1, USA to SyFy, etc).

Thats up to the people who own the Network man, come on lol. They also did move nights sometimes in the early years because the network didnt move them to another network.

Like Raw moved nights because of a dog show for many years.
