Man, I feel bad for the NXT Talent at this point. They keep throwing them up against these big AEW shows. They deserve better.

I'm assuming this one won't be head to head since Forbidden Door is in London so that's better than throwing them in an afternoon slot to have something against All In on Saturday like they're doing for the Bash

Yeah, I didn't think of that. Then yeah that's probably a little bit better for them then.

I mean... is it really better? They are basically running (directly) after a big overseas-PPV (which means probably a more rabid crowd) of the biggest competitor. It's still some form of throwing them into shark-infested waters, when it comes to casual/non-aligned fans, I'd think.

But by definition, it's still better lol better doesn't mean good, it means less bad and going after is better than head to head, yes.

You gotta spell it out for the German to get it

If Forbidden Door is 8pm UK time then a 3pm local time for Heatwave is possible I think.

Very much in the realm of possibility, but I can't see them being even more blatant and doing that without some show like Evolution to give a reason for NXT to be earlier, unless there's some boxing thing since TKO has been plugging those lately maybe.
