NXT and AEW are well on their way building shows surrounding the start of the new year, and host Adam Silverstein is here to break it all down. "The Silver King" opens with a look at an exceptionally strong episode of NXT featuring Kyle O'Reilly again becoming No. 1 contender for the NXT championship in an epic match against Pete Dunne and Rhea Ripley continuing to lose matches despite a hot start to 2020. Is an NXT title run in O'Reilly's future, and is Ripley preparing her departure for the main roster? Plus, a look at the formation of The Way, an improved NXT tag team division and more. Adam then moves to AEW where champion Kenny Omega is crushing it both with his character work and in-ring action. Omega has quickly and clearly become the company's top dog, while the rest of this Dynamite episode was lackluster, including another disappointing Sting appearance, a boring 12-man tag featuring Inner Circle and more issues with Miro.
