WWE NXT dominated rival AEW in the Wednesday night wrestling war last week with announcer Tom Phillips at the helm.
WWE announced that regular NXT announcer Mario Ranallo would not be on the show due to a sore throat. Our sources tell us this was a cover story, and that Ranallo was actually benched so that WWE could stack the show with the star power of Tom Phillips.
The strategy paid off and NXT’s 810,000 viewers easily toppled AEW’s 663,000 viewers.
