With the head-to-head battle now behind both brands, AEW and NXT this week continued building programs for significant upcoming shows. Host Adam Silverstein opens by diving into NXT [6:30] where Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams were suddenly at odds and a strong focus on the women's division led to plenty of developments ahead of the Halloween Havoc specials. Next, "The Silver King" looks at storyline-heavy week in AEW [25:30], including Sting announcing his forthcoming retirement, MJF fighting battles on multiple fronts, Adam Copeland's momentum waining with immensely repetitive segments, and AEW shying away from its controversial angle with Jay White, Juice Robinson and Bullet Club Gold.
