The upcoming WWE Premium Live event is set to occur on the very same day as an AEW pay-per-view that’s been recently announced. This weekend promises a major clash between WWE and AEW, with AEW’s event taking place in Texas on Saturday, July 12th, while WWE simultaneously broadcasts the Great American Bash and Saturday Night Main Event.
Looking ahead, new information suggests WWE is planning to counter more AEW shows. According to Sportkida, WWE’s NXT HeatWave is scheduled for August 24th, directly coinciding with AEW’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view originating from the O2 Arena in London, England. NXT HeatWave is expected to be held in South Carolina, potentially at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium.
Sources from Wrestlevotes note that the decision to go head-to-head with AEW on this date came as a direct instruction from TKO executives. Since AEW’s UK event has earlier start times than those in the US, WWE’s NXT HeatWave will likely be held during the daytime to compete effectively.
