Great number, can;'t be overstated that AEW's average and ceiling have raised with the move to TBS, and Tony khan got PAID EXTRA to move there. You wanna talk about seeing a win-win in action lol
Big Bang Theory being a lead in has insanely helped the floor, but the average shows most are sticking around, which is a big deal. Next week's a big show, and then NEXT week's the even bigger Newark show with a world title match, so they have a lot to build on.

Good number. Overall up from last week if I remember right. Since I think it was 1.02 or something like that.

A bunch of goofballs peddled the false narrative that AEW being moved to TBS was a demotion, when TBS is the larger, flagship network. It’s so satisfying that AEW’s ratings have risen accordingly with the move, since there was such a large contingency of people elsewhere on the internet acting like it would be the harbinger of the death of the company.

Trolls are finding less and less ways to try and spin AEW dying in a few years when all they've done is grow and grow is satisfying. I still remember the Revolution ending was going to be "The absolute death of the company that they'd never recover from" coming up on one year ago now, really REALLY funny to see just how much growth has happened who has signed on to the company since lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong but total viewers have went up every week since the TBS move. Word is still getting around. I said judge this after 1-2 months after the move but they're already getting great ratings, and next week with Punk/MJF announced it has the potential to do another great rating, even much better than this week.

I've seen shows lose network favour. They don't get moved to more stable homes for more money with extended ocntracts to hold onto the show. They get jerked around in time slots, pre-empted a ton, and ultimately cast aside because the pre-empting and jerking was in fact the engineered plan of one or more network execs who wanted the show gone as a political ploy and to make room for their pet project next season instead. I've watched shows take a several week delay to premiere just to cut their legs off on the hopes of a full season and then use the lack of a full season as a reason to trim the show off and never go anywhere with it. AEW being moved was a commitment and a priority to keep them as a prominently featured property they still put out excitable press releases for when it tops the ratings. If AEW was doomed they wouldn't have cared about it getting kicked around by hockey commitments. That whole sentiment was the viewpoint of someone who never suffered through the insane horseshit of watching a show get ruined. If I had to guess, not one of them followed Constantine week to week.

As someone who has tracked Nickelodeon for years, I can't tell you how many Nicktoons got bumped off the Mainstream TV Network and got the rest of their series aired on Nicktoons, the satellite channel that doesn't even get one quarter of the viewership. THAT is what actual sabotage looks like, what a Network not caring about their media looks like. Not "Go to a bigger Network for more money so you can be prominantly more featured and not delayed, and oh, we're still gonna keep Rampage because the demo it draws in a 10PM slot is still some of the best on our network period... oh and also we'll take a Rhodes reality show"...

The classic example of a wrestling company and network fighting? ECW on TNN.

The women division damaged the rating as expected.

They got just a little bit below the number that the MJF/Punk promo did, Quarter 2 to 3 had a much bigger dropoff, but sure, "The women damaged the ratings as expected". Gonna be real honest dude, the narratives you try and push get really grating sometimes, you're acting like they drove the viewership down below a million, wasn't even close to an issue and they went right back up for Baker's promo. So like... enough of this bullshit false narrative please.

They didnt care for Velvet and Leyla as much as how they didnt care for Pillman Jr when he had his match vs Malakai, or Kazarian when he had that long match last week vs Archer or that Bear Country match, there is a trend in AEW giving tv time to talent that viewers dont seem to care because they are boring or they rarely hit TV.

if we go by viewers losts, IC vs 2.0 was the biggest tanking in the rankings but clearly that is more due to the title match ending
Also this is the first show that was 1000+ for the whole duration I think

Well how else are they going to curb that? They're on a new Network, they need to let other talents on TV to make the viewers care. By all intents and purposes, Leyla and Velvet did not drive viewers away in droves, none of those matches you mentioned really did. You need to introduce and funnel stars in and out on your roster so you don't always have to rely on the same people popping a rating, so it's good to get them on TV whether it's here or Rampage, and get them noticed. Looks like with the new floor they have, Khan's either willing to put more lesser knowns in the spotlight more often now, or TBS is also a bit looser than TNT was in terms of who they want to see. EIther way, it's not killing them, the average actually rose from last week, and for the main event. It's just growing pains you have to go through.

I think saying any segment really did poorly there isn't a fair way to read the trend. Outside of the two major first hour segments, everything else was about at the same level and the ups and downs were fairly minor after the first 30 minutes.

I am curious as to what makes people switch after 8:30, but it’s a good number.

I mean there's no one right answer but the ladder match was a huge attraction to some and they might have felt the rest of the show could be DVRed for example. I bet more stick around next week if MJF/Punk is the main event.

It's nice to analyze, but here are two objective facts.
1. When it goes to an ad, people change the channel and some people forget to turn back.
2. IT WAS THE #2 SHOW ON CABLE.
The women, the men, the comedy, the everything that AEW does got them to #2. Not #41, not #50, not outside the top 150, but #2. So they should continue doing what they're doing, because they're competing with mainstream multi billion dollar sporting companies and winning.

I always like the discussion about “they don’t care about ___” when the only logical way to get people to care about them is…put them on TV? It was like with 10 vs. Max Caster a couple of years ago and people wondering why they were on Dynamite. How are people supposed to care about them wrestling if they’re not on TV wrestling?
It’s a weird chicken or egg thing to me. Especially for a drop that wasn’t remotely that bad at all.
