The move comes just weeks after WWE's NXT Battleground went head-to-head with AEW's Double or Nothing. With this latest scheduling decision, WWE once again appears unafraid to place its programming directly opposite AEW's.

The move comes just weeks after WWE's NXT Battleground went head-to-head with AEW's Double or Nothing. With this latest scheduling decision, WWE once again appears unafraid to place its programming directly opposite AEW's.
AEW vs WWE: A renewed rivalry?
The overlapping schedule hasn't gone unnoticed by wrestling fans or AEW President Tony Khan. When asked about the increasing number of WWE events scheduled against AEW pay-per-views, Khan quipped that it felt reminiscent of 'the Jim Crockett Promotions era' but promised things 'will go a lot differently this time.'
Meanwhile, online reactions from fans were mixed. Some accused WWE of 'sabotaging' AEW's biggest show of the year, while others joked about the increasing tension between the two companies. 'This makes WWE look scared, weak, and spiteful' one user wrote on X. Others pointed out that the move indicates WWE sees AEW as genuine competition and doesn't view NXT as merely a developmental brand anymore.
With both companies pulling out all stops for their summer showcases, fans now face a tough decision. Whether it's the grandeur of AEW's All In or the nostalgia and intensity of WWE's NXT Great American Bash, July 12 promises to be a defining day in modern pro wrestling.
Either way, the message is clear: the battle for viewership is heating up - and neither side is backing down.

Aamir Khan says he is a 'red flag', recalls the time when he made ex-wife Kiran Rao cry
Known across the industry as Bollywood's 'Mr. Perfectionist,' Aamir Khan has long captivated audiences with his dedication to his craft. Yet beyond the silver screen, the acclaimed actor has begun to reveal a more vulnerable side, one shaped by emotional lessons and deeply personal realizations. In a recent conversation with podcaster Raj Shamani, Khan opened up about the emotional turmoil that once defined his relationships, especially with filmmaker Kiran Rao , his former wife. Reflecting on their marriage, Aamir acknowledged how his relentless focus on work had often overshadowed the emotional needs of those around him. He described being a workaholic as one of the most damaging aspects of his personality. His intense professional drive often led him to disconnect from emotions, especially when hurt. During emotionally challenging times, he admitted to shutting himself off completely—avoiding conversations and retreating inward. This pattern became particularly evident during a disagreement with Kiran. Although the argument's details faded from memory, its emotional impact endured. Despite sharing a bed and a home, he distanced himself emotionally, offering only minimal responses. This emotional withdrawal eventually left Kiran in tears, desperately trying to bridge the silence, unsure how to reach him. Khan recognized that this behavior stemmed from emotional immaturity and an inability to process pain in healthy ways. At the root of his silence, he confessed, was ego—a defense mechanism that made it nearly impossible for him to take the first step toward reconciliation. Though he wanted to heal the rift, his internal struggle kept him frozen. It was only later, through therapy and introspection , that he came to terms with these behavioral patterns, which he now identifies as red flags in his emotional life. His introspection extended beyond his relationship with Kiran Rao. He also revisited the early days of his first marriage to Reena Dutta. Aamir revealed that he married Reena impulsively after knowing her for just four months. At 21, with Reena only 19, the decision was driven more by youthful emotion than rational thought. Looking back, he admitted that they should have taken more time before committing, as youthful passion often blinds one to future consequences. Currently, Aamir is involved with Gauri Spratt, a Mumbai-based salon owner and a longtime acquaintance. Although they have known each other for over 25 years, their bond developed more recently into a close relationship. Professionally, Aamir is set to return to cinema with Sitaare Zameen Par , a spiritual successor to his 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The film, a remake of the Spanish movie Champions, draws inspiration from a real-life basketball team of athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Rey Mysterio details double injury setback before WrestleMania 41
Image via WWE WWE legend Rey Mysterio has opened up about a pair of injuries that kept him out of action during WrestleMania 41, shedding light on his sudden removal from a planned singles match against El Grande Americano. The high-flying veteran was originally slated to face the masked alter ego of Chad Gable at the marquee event. However, on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania, Mysterio suffered a torn groin and was pulled from the card. Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was also dealing with a busted eardrum at the time. Rey Mysterio keeps the heat on 'I'm actually still recovering from the injury I suffered just before WrestleMania - a torn groin and a busted eardrum. But I still love what I do,' said Mysterio, who was recently honored with the Legend Impact Award at the National Hispanic Media Coalition's Impact Gala. Rey Mysterio, Brenda Victoria Castillo talk National Hispanic MC Legend Impact Award, WWE, AAA, Dom The 49-year-old was replaced by Rey Fenix in the WrestleMania bout, where the babyface team - also featuring Dragon Lee. emerged victorious over American Made. Despite being sidelined, Mysterio's interview has kept him in the headlines, thanks to a light-hearted jab aimed at his on-screen son, Dominik Mysterio. While the injuries sidelined him physically, Mysterio remained sharp on the mic. During a rapid-fire segment in the same interview, he was asked if Dominik could ever surpass his legacy in AAA Wrestling. Without missing a beat, Rey leaned into their long-running WWE storyline: 'Dirty Dom? Dirty Dom needs a spanking with a chancla and a belt.' The culturally resonant quip, referencing a common Latino disciplinary tool, drew laughter from the hosts but also sent a clear message - the family feud is far from over. WWE x AAA: Could the rivalry spill into 'Worlds Collide'? The timing of Mysterio's comment is interesting, especially in the context of WWE's recent acquisition of AAA Wrestling, a historic move that opens doors for crossover rivalries and fresh storylines. The upcoming WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event is being promoted as a celebration of global wrestling styles and legacies, with both Rey and Dominik Mysterio prominently featured in the early marketing campaigns. Dom Mysterio talks WWE Tampa Takeover, IC Win, Attitude Era, Judgment Day, Carlito, AAA, Omos, Miami Although Rey has not disclosed whether he'll be wrestling or appearing in a different capacity, fans are already speculating that the father-son feud could take center stage at the international showcase. Rey's deep roots in lucha libre and Dominik's current run as Intercontinental Champion present a compelling contrast, offering creative opportunities for a legacy vs. rebellion narrative to unfold on a bigger stage. Dominik, now firmly entrenched in his heel persona as part of The Judgment Day, has not shied away from provocation. In a separate interview, he boldly claimed to have already eclipsed his father's legacy in WWE and expressed a desire to 'sh** all over Rey Mysterio' in AAA as well. The comment raised eyebrows and further fueled fan interest in a possible in-ring confrontation. For now, both stars remain on separate paths - but in the world of professional wrestling, it often takes just one moment to bring everything crashing back together. Fans will be watching closely to see whether that moment arrives at Worlds Collide.
