WWE and AEW weekly ratings discussion

Combination of fallout from Punk/MJF, the Texas Deathmatch, and the hyping of major debuts I imagine.
This week was extremely hyped up, justifiably, and so I would think normal shows will be generally be between last week and this, rather than thinking that last week was necessarily the weird one, much as I'd rather it was.
Big boost. There was lots of intrigue going into the show and it largely ruled, so it's not too surprising, but it is good to see. Expecting a drop for next with just the two things announced so far, but who knows what Rampage has in store.
This could be the most exciting build to a PPV since Revolution 2020.

men 18-49 for this weeks dynamite was about even with the raw after rumble
one of the biggest raws of the year with super high casual interest, ronda rousey and brock lesnar on par with a dynamite show that is up against olympics, featuring gory self mutilation, the debut of an nxt reject and some dude from japan

I get what you mean but last week's show was also a hyped up show with Punk vs MJF. That's why it was deemed a disappointing rating. If last week was a normal show, I think most people wouldn't have given much thought to the viewership being down from the week prio.
Jade has been a proven draw, so yeah I'd blame the drop on completely random, unknown opponents.
Save the random opponents for Dark. I know you want to give Jade time to work on TV, live, in front of the big crowd, but you have to expect tv audiences to tune out at that point. If she's gonna work Dynamite, she needs to face a full time oppnent that people actually know. Preferably with, you know, some kind of story building up the match.
Something to consider, this point last year dynamite was still going head to head against NXT.
In a few months we will have a fair comparison.
1,219,000 overall and a .44 in 18-49 is the number I want them to consistently beat. It's what they did the first night they went unopposed.
They're getting pretty close to it again.
They've actually gotten a .44 before without 1.2 million people watching which I find more impressive tbh.

Probably unpopular opinion but I don't understand what they are doing with Serena Deeb and why she gets as much air time as she does.
I don't even know how all of this might be possible with dwindling TV numbers. It's cool that AEW is doing better than they were a year ago, but yeah, have to keep the NXT context in mind. Either way, #1 on cable is pretty great.

She's their best in ring women's wrestler. I think they are kinda doing the Taz gimmick with her to build up a run against Britt.
Biggest growth of the night being +30% in females 18-34 for Hangman/Archer is pretty interesting. Young women love that cowboy shit.
Because she's the most talented women's wrestler on the roster, and the reason they didn't push her before now is because she had no mic skills back then. Granted, I'd rather see her in a legit feud instead of some rookie challenge, but I'm 99% sure this is going to lead to her facing an incoming wrestler like Taya Valkyrie or Ember Moon.
The "There's no one in the back on my level" when she's not a champion is kind of goofy but I also don't think she's ever fought any of the current champions 1 on 1 in an AEW ring. I could be wrong about that stat though.
But that line had me thinking that there's no way this isn't a build to someone new coming in and either taking her over the 5 minutes or straight up beating her.
TNT has to be thrilled that Dynamite consistently retains its audience for all 2 hours without any massive drops.
But last week was a poor show.
I think this number and the raw number shows that the wrestling audience isn't hurt by the winter Olympics.
It also kind of goes against that whole "bloody matches scares women off" some people believe.
To me the most interesting bit is that the whole MJF segment really put people off. I think that the show was well booked, but seems that a long promo segment is not a good way to open the show.
Dynamite always loses a bunch of viewers after the very beginning of the show. The lead-
in from The Big Bang Theory is pretty big, but those viewers don't stick around to watch wrestling.
It help that there wasn't ant CW show or comedies that week. I did my part for once.
Well, part of the challenge is to bring new people to watch this silly form of entertainment. A portion of that lead-in being caught with some great promo/match that immediatly catches the eye will end up happening at some point
Enjoyed the show as a standard Rampage, so those just look like standard Rampage numbers. Lowest in 7 weeks isn't the end of the world.
A 100 share with men and women 18-49?
The Super Bowl is a goddamn draw.
99 million viewers? Holy hell.
