Blood & Guts is a draw. Great number, considering Dynamite ratings have been a bit down compared to their white hot period last year.

What else in the top 50 performs as well as Rampage on Fridays at 10PM that isn't on a channel that's in more homes?
That graph showing where shows placed historically on cable is always funny to me because you can tell exactly when the NBA playoffs began and then ended.
My guess would be than Dynamite started well over 1mil, but lost a lot during the show. It was a okay show, but it was a bit aimless - so much felt like a reset and start a lot of new stories.
If they can do those numbers for a none-hype show that is good too see

Vince already yelling at Stephanie to make a blood and guts week for wwe as we speak and telling anyone who points out why blood and guts is a thing that he never claimed such a thing and that it was his idea for a wwe event the whole time.
Also important to keep the bigger picture in mind:
Dynamite viewership history from this week YOY:
07/08/2020: 715,000 (0.28)
07/07/2021: 871,000 (0.33)
07/06/2022: 979,000 (0.36)
Last year at this time was the Road Rager episode with the Cody/QT strap match and badass Bucks vs. Penta/Eddie tag match.

Smackdown demo is really on the slide. Wonder if it will bump back up when Roman starts showing up to promote summerslam.
The latest observer pointed out how Smackdown and Raw's key demo are extremely similar. The roughly 500k extra viewers smackdown gets is nearly all over 50

Keeping the rating after last week pretty forgettable Dynamite is quite a feat. I imagine next week we'll see bump, specially with Eddie vs Jericho
The demo sliding down isn't too great, but hey, #1 is #1. Definitely gonna see a boost next week. They barbed wire match should be the main.
Dont worry, big dimes Takeshita will grow ratings exponentially now he's had the exposure
For reference, Fyter Fest night 1 was down from this same week last year:
July 14th 2021:
"Wednesday's AEW Dynamite Fyter Fest episode drew 1,025,000 viewers on TNT, up from last week's 871,000 viewers.
It drew a 0.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from last week's 0.33.
It was going head to head with game 4 of the NBA Finals, which drew 7.4 million viewers on ABC."

pretty crazy. last year had some big matches in darby vs ethan page in a coffin match, and matt hardy vs christian.
This year's matches really weren't built nor advertised ahead of time aside from the six man tag.
The thing is that AEW should have already been on new storylines by now, yet we're still under BCC vs JAS after months and months, Women's division is where? and everything else is "hmm let's see what we can do" (including the freakin World Title lol) while having a bit of ROH build.
So, it's understandable if AEW is not having a bump. It's good that it's sustaining their position, but after the other sports stopped, they probably should've been up.

I'm pretty pumped about most of the current champs in AEW, so that's helping with my enjoyment of the shows.
Feels like Rosa is finally finding her groove as champ.
Wardlow's defense against Orange Cassidy felt like drinking a cool glass of water after being forced to swallow gruel for months with the Sammy and ATT stuff.
PAC rules, and I'm glad he's getting to defend his title overseas.
Sw3rve and Lee as tag champs is a fresh choice. Hope they run with the belts for a bit.
Jade and Mox are just holding it down with their respective titles and are doing a good job of making their titles feel important.

I don't think it's boring, on the contrary, but I feel there has been a lack of direction in the last few weeks due to some stories going on for longer than one would have expected.
I imagine that the World title picture also doesn't have a clear direction because Tony is probably waiting and see if Punk is going to be back at All Out or not.
It'll be interesting in a few years or so when the shoots/books come out and we learn exactly how hard plans changed due to the injury crisis
What's the deal with Rampage bookings? At some random points you had big events like the Moxley vs Yuta match, then you keep having totally missable episodes. Most of the shows doesn't sound like a Rampage at all!
Rampage has an awful timeslot, has been marred by pre-emptions from sports, and generally carries itself like a B show. It's hard for me to imagine how they can get the show back up to par without serious changes. Number one would probably be getting it off of TNT, since pre-emptions have damaged it far more than Dynamite's pre-emptions hurt that show.
Rampage is the perfect format for a WCW Saturday Night-esque show. If they were that concerned about numbers, it would be a #2 live flagship program.
The pre-emptions completely killed the ratings as anyone interested in watching just DVRs it now.
Rampage rarely seems to fit in with anything that happens on Dynamite. If it's supposed to be a show like WCW Thunder, then it needs to move to a better time slot and start carrying over stories.
While I'm at it, Dark and Elevation don't need connected storylines to the main shows either.
