Everything you need to know about AEW's failure is that when WWE's developmental show left Wednesdays, All Petite didn't gain a single one of their 700,000-850,000 viewers. If trannies are to be believed, everyone who watches WWE also watches All Cope. So why can't the cultists break a million? Where are all those E-Chads they swear watch AEW but lie about it?
The proof is in the pudding: all aewtists still watch the E religiously, they worship us, want to be us, but E-Gods? We couldn't give two shits about what happens in their little indy mudshow fed. In fact, I've never even seen an episode of Trannymite. Look at the numbers... NONE of us have.
I love being the most powerful force on /asp/&/pw/. We act superior, because we are superior. We truly are GODS.

As for OP the whole thing is bullshit now with fans spamming to 'control optics' like we saw for months and months screenshots of ticket sales and 'reports' on how AEW was killing WWE then we see a summary and WWE house shows alone are outselling Dynamite some months. All shows have some good shit on them, if you're going to watch a whole show it's best just to pick your personal favorite for the guys you want to see at the moment but overall it's a better decision just to watch highlights and save yourself a shitload of time.

April 14, 2021 was when they went unopposed again.

They did 1.22 million with a .44 18-49.

April 7th, 2021

They did 990k and .38 in 18-49

Their overall average audience age has gone from the early 40s to 49 since the debut. They spent more money over the past year hiring former WWE talent.

No matter how you slice it, they aren’t growing for sure. It’s status quo at best.

Wrestling just doesn't draw in new audiences. Everyone that used to watch wrestling moved to MMA during those horrible fucking WWE years between attitude era and today and aren't coming back to this shit ever again. Once the remaining fan base dies out over time, there will be no one watching other than pajeets.

I will assume you are taking US numbers.

If the PAID WWE Network subscribers (per audited financials) maxed out at 1.7 million internationally in 2019 with all of the deals they were offering, I think you’re giving it too much credit. I would say 1.75- 2 million now after pandemic, aging of audience, and generally shitty shows.

No it’s not dying tomorrow, but the delusion of AEW claiming they were bringing in new fans based on the small sample size of around the debut is embarrassing. It was heavily advertised, and when people saw what it was (still fake fighting and bad acting), the average age zoomed up to close to 50. The attitude era is what is keeping this afloat.

The latter is why WWE's viewership is dominated by the over 50 demo. They are not gaining new fans either, they're actually losing more than AEW.

And yes, most shows debut at a certain number and grow. See - Raw/Nitro, Walking Dead. Pick a successful show.

They’ve lost fans and gotten older.
