One thing that's missing from the numbers is the context of its ranking relative to other Saturday night programming, which Wrestlenomics doesn't give for some reason. That would help inform if this was just a crappy number for the week or if it was a down night for cable in general.

They came in at number 15, likely 3rd in the timeslot behind UFC and an FX movie. www.spoilertv.com/2023/07/tv-ratings-for-saturday-1st-july-2023.html

So crappy number overall. Even with the dip last week they were still #5 for the day on a relatively strong demo. Not so much this week.

Man those big Punk ratings were totally worth it, huh guys? Totally worth bringing back locker room poison and his pet pitbull to not even do a half mill.

'Collider' was a tongue in cheek throwaway line said on commentary like Kane dropping 'Kanenites' in that one promo, who knew it would cut so deep to be seen as tribalism in action lol It was, but his tongue was in his cheek referencing the fact that he's being kept separate from the Elite, so it's per se "tribalism in action." I didn't mean to play it up as any kind of big deal...it wasn't...but Punk isn't exactly doing anything to assuage the "pro Punk v. anti Punk" tribalism that was being referenced. Right. He came in and immediately stoked the flames of tribalism. Can't complain when that side is getting some in return. For the record I'm too tired of the whole thing to care unless they stop pussyfooting around and turn this into an angle, but I'm gonna laff at low ratings.

We also should factor in that WBD themselves were seemingly pushing TK to bring Punk back if at all possible.

What does this mean ? WWE is doing great even though TV is down. AEW is doing terribly, but you know... TV is down.

Yeah, if the reason that television companies are willing to spend money on wrestling programming is because it has tended to be the exception to the rule of declining live television viewership then I don't think there's a way to spin it as a positive that AEW isn't keeping pace with WWE with that trend.

Pretty much all of their major networks are losing viewers. But lets not act like Tony is perfect either, the dude has less of a spine than an amoeba. And if this rating right now isn't even factoring in college ball, which is going to likely harm them as well.

Next week will be the interesting one, to what extent will Joe Vs Punk effect the ratings?
I'm relatively down on Collision and Punk but that certainly has my interest.

I'm just gonna say this: I think people hanging their hats on a 20 year old feud that played out in front of a niche of a niche audience bringing in bonkers ratings today are.....optimistic, at best. I mean, I enjoyed the Punk/Joe matches at the time, but it's been nearly 20 years...

I think people expecting bonkers ratings are overselling it and people thinking it won't matter are probably underselling it. The Punk/Joe trilogy was the gateway for a lot of folks to wrestling outside of the WWE. Yeah, it's been 20 years and I'm not saying it's going to draw 1MM viewers, but I think it's one of those things where it may be enough to get them back up a little bit this week simply out of curiosity alone.

It's 8 weeks until football season starts, at which point I believe there will be a college or NFL game on every Saturday until well into January.
Also, if cjb reads this... this thread has gone five pages so I was clearly wrong.
