This isn't surprising. Ratings will likely drop every week moving forward. For the most part, both shows weren't good outside of a segment here and there.

Will be interesting to see if there is an “AEW’s second week ratings PLUMMETS” thread considering they dropped 25% as well just like Smackdown did.

1,400,000 to just over 1,000,000 (25%+ drop)


or does that not fit the agenda?

:vinsanity:More warroom celebrations! That's what people wants to see.

But seriously, that's some of the corniest shyt they have done.

Show was trash




Except for the biscuit segment at the end

 

[StarClout]

They really had the FOX robot

Aikman and Buck looked like they didn’t want to be there

But I thought that Brock Lesnar was a draw.

 

[The Ruler 09]

It's the same with the AEW show, first week is always going to do the most then it levels out. They can both effect it positively or negatively depending on what they do going forward .

Is this a photoshop?

So that was real? Holy shyt does Fox think this is a real sport? They will probably release a moneyball style movie on the process of drafting Seth Rollins with the first pick
