The entire wrestling world was buzzing today about the news of NXT going to the USA Network on September 18th.
One person who is certainly excited is Chris Jericho. The All Elite Wrestling Superstar, who was with the WWE for 20 years, shared this tweet seemingly implying that the competition is only going to make AEW bring even more of their best shot to television on Wednesday nights:
Congrats to @WWENXT for making the big move to the @USA_Network! Runners always race faster when somebody is right behind them. Gonna be fun to see which team the world decides to join! #ChooseJericho @AEWrestling @AEWonTNT

Jericho was not done there. He also sent out this tweet looking for a thank you for creating the spark that he feels put NXT on this new platform:
Oh by the way…@WWENXT on @USA_Network? #YoureWelcome #IndustryChanger
