What happened? Could it be without NXT fans flipping back and forth, AEW overestimated its fanbase? Literally took 3 episodes to lose 350,000 viewers. |

President Biden's Address to Congress was the main reason why.
Even MTV's Challenge series got hammered badly by it compared to their numbers last week. |

If there is no very important political or news stuff going around, then yeah.
This isn't the first time this has happened for AEW. Ever since Dynamite's existence, their younger audience has been a lot more affected whenever something major happened in the news than NXT. Same thing happened with the Insurrection stuff earlier this year for ratings. |

I think it has more to do with them continuously pushing shitty wrestlers like QT Marshall.

If it wasn't for the Blood & Guts match next week, Moxley vs. Nagata would have been a cool nod to Turner's wrestling history if it had happened next week. |

Hope Nagata doesn't phone it in. Despite his age, he can still go when he really wants to.

Yeah. Probably going to be a hard hitting brawl since that fits Moxley's style and Nagata had some really good high profile brawls this past year.
AEW getting Nagata for their show also means one step closer to Orange Cassidy vs. Minoru Suzuki finally being a reality since that was set to happen last year in GCW if it wasn't for COVID. |

According to Chris Jericho, AEW's version of WarGames won't be exactly the same as the classic one from NWA/WCW due to venue-related reasons but it also won't be a "bastardized" version like WWE's NXT War Games have been.

That makes sense considering what President Biden said earlier in the year about his goal of wanting enough people vaccinated by July 4th to have things start safely moving back to normal by then.

Fulham just got relegated from the English Premiership. And with that the team loses a ton of T.V revenue.

The reality is this is what we're heading to nationwide. Even the blue states are upping stadium capacity, in some cases having "full vaccinated" sections with 100% capacity.
Of course Texas will be the wild west and everyone can sit everywhere regardless of vaccine status but it was inevitable we'd get to the point of "if you're fully vaccinated and still don't feel comfortable living your life, that's your problem" |

According to Voices of Wrestling, Ricky Starks will be out of action for AEW for the next 3 months due to a fractured neck injury from his match against Hangman Page last month.

Florida getting hit with another spike recently because of Spring Break proved that it was a bad idea for them to fully reopen as quickly as they did but their governor doesn't care since he's a moron. |

NWA is having a really interesting match take place on a future show and it involves Thunder Rosa's future in AEW.
If she loses her upcoming match against Kamile, then she won't be allowed to wrestling on any non-NWA shows for the foreseeable future. Quote:

So, whoever thought that Tay Conti Senton was a good idea should be fired. Tay alone could have broken her neck if she hit the turnbuckle too close. Not to mention what could have happened to her opponent. An opponent, I might add, that is not getting the pay package that Tay is (I think she's one of Rosa's students?)

Is this thing still going? It’s not even fun to rag on them anymore now that the guy that formats their show has come out and said that it’s such a shit-show. And he thinks that’s a good idea.

AT&T and Discovery officially confirmed reports of them merging their entertainment divisions together into a new company.
AT&T is the parent company of WarnerMedia who is the parent company of TNT. According to the Hollywood Reporter, AT&T was originally in talks for a merger deal with NBCU which would have resulted in both WWE and AEW being under the same umbrella but those talks went nowhere in the end. Right now AEW and Vice's Dark Side of the Ring series will be under the same umbrella with the potential of MLW joining them in the future based on the rumored talks they've had with Discovery.

821,000 for Dynamite
Told you the spike was due to a heavily hyped gimmick show. This happens to them all the time. |

According to the Observer, AEW's numbers this week got massacred on the West Coast because of the Lakers game. Last 30 minutes of the show got hit hard the worst since that's when the Lakers Play-In tournament game peaked in viewers.
For some reference, the Lakers vs. Warriors averaged around 5.6 million for their game and AEW doesn't air live on the West Coast unlike the East Coast.
