"Trying the hardest to get attention" - Wrestling world erupts as a fan flashes WWE title during Chris Jericho's AEW Dynamite segment

During last night's Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite, one of WWE's top titles, the NXT World Title, was prominently featured. The wrestling world was surprised to see the Stamford-based promotion's title on Wednesday night.

It is no big secret that All Elite Wrestling and WWE are competitors, and their fan base is not too friendly with each other. Thus, when fans saw the NXT title on their television screens, they were not very pleased to see it.

The Holiday Bash edition of Dynamite kicked off with The Absolute One Ricky Starks. As he came out to talk about his match last week against MJF for the world title, he was interrupted by the Ocho Chris Jericho. During the segment, one of the members of the crowd proudly held their replica NXT World Title.

Ricky Starks letting the people know he’s not done, he’s going to earn another title shot. Something about him feels different, can’t help but believe he will be a world champ some day soon. #AEWDynamite #rickystarks
(Also anyone else notice that NXT title in the background)

Fans mocked the person for bringing the title to the rival show and claimed that the Tony Khan-led promotion is not interested in seeing a championship from a developmental promotion.

Taking an NXT title belt to an AEW show is like taking a confederate flag to New York. You lost the war, lil bro.

"Seeing the ref lift up the women's title and that idiot fan lifting the NXT women's title in the same shot just highlights how s*** that title looks compared to the AEW women's championship," a fan tweeted.

Some fans argued about which show is better and also pin-pointed the fact that the same fans who complain about a WWE title being shown on the Tony Khan-led promotion are the same people that get excited to see All Elite merchandise on RAW or SmackDown.

Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative of NXT, Shawn Michaels was namedropped on AEW Dynamite

During the same episode of Dynamite, Bryan Danielson was interviewed inside the squared circle by Renee Paquette. During the segment, The American Dragon mentioned that Shawn Michaels trained him, but he equally respects the manager of Blackpool Combat Club, William Regal.
