The last 2QHs likely tanked like last week, Acclaimed vs Bear Country was such a random match.

This was the week to either tie or outright beat Raw in key demo because of the Bama vs Georgia game, and it looks like they did just that.

I believe Raw had some tough competition but even so, tying the demo with Raw always has to be seen as a positive thing for AEW and the company's growth.

I'm a fan of both teams but come on, this was all about the Sting/Darby bit which could've been done without the match. Ruby/Jade draws the most viewers last week and apart from a 30 second pre-tape, neither is to be seen this week. Your new TBS champion doesn't have a match or a promo to establish her and the title a bit more. Perplexing to say the least. |

Good demo considering no big match was announced
AEW matched Raw in the demo. Pretty crazy as USA network pay nearly 5 times more than AEW get from TNT

Given AEW's going a bit lighter with the cards this week and next, the drop was expected, but glad it didn't too much
RAW had big competition but their overall viewership remained relatively the same, so that demo tie is really impressive when you also consider AEW didn't throw everything at this show.
Hope the trends continue!

Your new TBS champion doesn't have a match or a promo to establish her and the title a bit more. Perplexing to say the least. I thought the match was good, much better for Bear Country than the Gunn Club one. I have to wonder if it was an audible because maybe Acclaimed's music video was either not done or not up to snuff to air. As for Ruby, I think they're going to be re-configuring her to fight Britt, but Britt's taking a small detour here with the Mixed Tag vs Statlander. They did a lot of promos this week so granted they could have found a spot for her, but one week doesn't do anything to her overness imo. Jade's probably waiting for Rosa, I think reports said the Rosa/Martinez thing gets a spot on Rampage so there's that. LIke the mens roster, the women's roster is also gonna experience turnover where some wrestlers take weeks off I think, but I'm sure they'll be back as early as next week |

Also NHL in the old AEW timeslot on TNT did just over 400k with a 0.12 demo and ranked 42nd. AEW ranked 3rd and were only beaten by NBA

This was the week to either tie or outright beat Raw in key demo because of the Bama vs Georgia game, and it looks like they did just that. Next week is also doable because there's a Rams/Cardinals wild card game on ESPN/ABC/ESPN2. After that, Raw won't have major sports conflicts for a while. |

The last 2QHs likely tanked like last week, Acclaimed vs Bear Country was such a random match. IDK why they could not put a women’s match in that time? The women did well ratings and demo wise on Rampage and BATB. So why not use Jade or Riho or someone there? Especially since, because Shida vs. Deeb was more an angle than an actual match, we did not actually get a proper women’s match this week. |

Jade isn't ready to work on TV every week, if you do that she'll get really exposed, unless you bring in people for squashes. She desperately needs reps that aren't on tv though. |

the NHL bruins/canadiens game on TNT that replaced Dynamite did 434k viewers and .12 demo These games really hurt the American networks because Canadian viewership isn't counted in the ratings. So any viewership you'd have is immediately cut in like half (if not more) because you're cutting off an entire home market, especially for a team as popular as the Habs. |

It’s honestly not terrible a number for them not really having a ton of big stars on the show or huge matches.

The TNT exec who said hockey's a much safer sport and will get gonzo ratings or whatever: Hockey has a VERY affluent, high-spending audience, the richest of the 4 major team sports. And far richer than wrestling. There's more to ratings than just raw viewership totals. |
