Yeah, SRS posted it on twitter
Thanks. Nice to see it after the last ratings thread had some speculation on AEW falling in profile/being treated as a less important show in the network move, because I've seen shows lose favour from the network before and the unfavorite doesn't get happy parent press releases about their accomplishments. Not to be a dick, but anyone speculating that was being either paranoid, or had failed to pay any attention to the level of investment that'd been put into AEW. "We would like to give you network specials that we pay you extra for instead of them just being regular episodes you give special names. Also, here's a big bonus." "Oh shit, AEW might be in trouble, guys."

"Oh shit, AEW might be in trouble, guys." Like, I know we’ve been used to companies changing their plans on a week by week basis and hoping one of them sticks but most companies aren’t run that way. Even shows not doing great in the ratings get more than a few weeks to try and establish and audience through word of mouth and critical opinion before making a decision on them barring unusual circumstances.

"Oh shit, AEW might be in trouble, guys." You're not being a dick. Turner's entertainment head a few months ago praised AEW in an unrelated interview. They're a #1 show in all of cable TV for the night, and I see commercials for Dynamite and Rampage randomly on other shows. There are no stories about Turner being upset on any level ever, in fact the only story I heard was Turner being upset at WWE for the Toronto Star story. Anyone speculating Turner is unhappy are either making a bad faith argument or projecting. Even if every Turner exec made a video saying "WE LOVE AEW", they would find a way to think Turner is unhappy.

Turner is likely thrilled at the ratings AEW is bringing in for the price they’re paying. They’re due for a huge raise in their next rights deal if they keep it up.
