An athlete could argue this is a tune-up, akin to practice the night before.

Tune-ups aren't the week of, and actual prize fighters go through long training camps with partners that move and fight similarly to their opponents

Wrestlers have matches the week of the PPV all the time and guys used to be on WCW Saturday Night the night before PPVs.

Yeah, they're dumber than most prize fighters, and often work for under $50 while driving long distances on their own dime

edit: I don't know why this is bothering me this time and none of the other PPV weekends. Maybe because commentary keeps emphasizing "tomorrow night"

Similarly, you can't put Ricky doing cool stuff exclusively on Dark! Half of the fanbase don't know how cool he is!
That match he had with Darby was cool

No off-season in pro wrestling, pal

They air 52 weeks a year, better strap on your big boy boots and be there for TV the night before

The good thing about hybrids is we can always make more when we run out.
