Pro wrestling fans are still embracing the excitement former generations felt during WWE/WCW viewership strive, known as Monday Night War. 

The wars were ended, WCW died, and WWE controlled the pro wrestling scene for many years, until the rise of AEW. 

The presence of AEW brought the possibility of living those exciting times of Monday Night War. 

This notion started as AEW Dynamite episodes defeated WWE's third brand NXT in viewership in what fans called Wednesday Night War that ended by moving NXT, what was re-defined later as "developmental system" by the system's Godfather Triple H, to Tuesdays. 

The concept of Wednesday Night War looked a fan-created term becaus the difference between both brands' rosters. 

However, the concept of war trended once again after the final 30 minutes of Friday Night SmackDown was head to head with the first 30 minutes of AEW Rampage. WWE announced that those 30 minutes will be commercial free, while AEW adds a Buy-In show for free on Youtube. 

The 30- minute war ended in the favor of the AEW, while the overall views were for the WWE. 

Moreover, NXT and Dynamite came head to head early this year, and Dynamite won. 

The same competition will come back again tonight as WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite will come head to head. 

WWE has announced various top- faces of the company like John Cena, The Judgement Day as they are backing NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio, Becky Lynch who carries the brand women's title, Cody Rhodes, and Asuka, in addition the brand teased the appearance of WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker. 

On the other hand, AEW announced a stacked card, including their most recent signing Adam Copeland (FKA Edge in WWE), Bryan Danielson, Chris Jericho, Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, Christian Cage, and Toni Storm. 

The action between both brands increased as NXT announced that the first 30 minutes of the show will be a commercial-free, driving AEW to make the first 30-minutes of the show as a commercial free, securing 10-minute over-run, and adding a 30-minute Buy In for free. 

AEW Dynamite Buy-In will start at 2:30 am Cairo Time, that main show for AEW and NXT will kick off at 3 am Cairo Time.
