WWE is pretty much in a lose-lose type situation and all because they rushed NXT to cable tv without planning ahead or thinking of the consequences.
If they increase the delay to something like RAW and Smackdown, that removes a big selling point for the Network since PPV and NXT have been the main drivers of subscriptions. Since WWE executive pay bonuses are now tied into Network viewership numbers, they'd take a big hit in their wallets if subs start to decrease in large numbers just to bail out NXT's tv viewership.
If they do nothing, AEW will continue to have the advantage over NXT even if NXT produces better shows in terms of in-ring quality.
