Not very surprised about Rampage. It was fun, but it was a bunch of obviously nothing matches and then the main event
My girlfriend has only been a fan for the past three years and enjoys AEW (despite not being a fan of most of the female roster who aren't joshi's) and we'll watch every pay per view, but the fact it airs during our working hours means she doesn't watch every Dynamite - let alone Rampage. Wrestling matches alone are not enough to make her tune in, because like, she may love Mox but she doesn't know who Jay Lethal is and hasn't been given a reason to care on the text of the show. Hell she still doesn't 'get' Adam Cole despite my marking the fuck out and folks like Keith Lee and Swerve are at least doing neat things and being cool outside of wrestling matches themselves so even if she doesn't watch the match, I can show her stuff.
I felt no need to tell her to watch Dynamite this week, even when I mentioned Toni Storm debuting - she had no clue who that was, despite the fact we're both Aussies.
Coming off a buzz-worthy Mania and the WWE TV debut of Cody Rhodes. No way to look at this other than a massive success for WWE.
They were 2nd of the night. They lost to 1 NBA game and beat the other.
