Ayo, this is deadass?

Not exactly. They've had some highly rated segments but they've had others that weren't great. There's no way of telling what the internal social media numbers and all that are looking like, there's too much that goes into it.

I will say this, the Death Riders thing started off horribly and has gone on way too long but since they've started feuding with Swerve, Willow and The Opps it's really picked up because people care about those acts more than the people the Death Riders were originally feuding with

This makes more sense because they still are the worst part of the show, but, they are finally putting over cool acts like Willow and The Opps.

Also, AEW as a whole as got better since last October when Dean got the title.

Yeah but as with anything ratings related in wrestling, it's not as consistent as it should be. Like I said earlier today, we don't have all the information so we're looking at a partial picture but those numbers reflect a totally different result from the audience.

@Cattle Mutilation was the main one posting the stats week to week.

it wasn't in reference to Rampage vs Smackdown. it was in reference to whatever else USA has on their network. I don't know what they show on there other than SD. whatever else prolly isn't getting good ratings anyways. cuz if they had a show that they felt was worth putting on at 10pm then they likely would've done it. but they got nothing going for them other than smackdown.

I just asked chatgpt:

what show on USA network currently gets the most viewers

ChatGPT said:​

As of May 2025, USA Network's most-watched programming primarily includes WWE events, particularly WWE SmackDown. While specific show-by-show ratings are not publicly detailed, USA Network's primetime audience reached approximately 1.38 million viewers on May 23, 2025, marking a significant increase from earlier in the week .Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1USTVDB
In terms of original scripted content, USA Network is set to premiere Season 4 of Resident Alien on June 6, 2025, in a simulcast with Syfy . This series has garnered a dedicated fan base and is anticipated to perform well in viewership.Wikipedia
Additionally, USA Network continues to air popular syndicated series such as NCIS, which has been a staple in their lineup and maintains a consistent audience .Wikipedia
If you're interested in more detailed ratings for specific shows or information on upcoming programming, feel free to ask!




yeah them boys got nothing else to put on. they could run smackdown replays and prolly do better numbers than their other shyt. thats why i used the rampage comparison cuz they were prolly doing better than any of the other shyt on USA network.

ChatGPT is trash. It told me there was a street fight between Ospreay and Swerve on Dynamite last night!

I don't know about highest rated segments but since like at least December Death Riders stuff has been consistently the strongest performing highlight clips on YouTube. Though Hurt Business/MJF stuff had pretty much gotten neck to neck with it last time I checked. There would be some episodes where the top three most viewed clips would be Death Riders. I hadn't updated my spreadsheet in a while because YouTube fukked me over with how they have stuff laid out on the TV app

Yall are also discounting the year to year drop in ratings since this shyt started.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

You can't really say there's a drop in the ratings when reports are saying it's doing well on max. If anything, the numbers have increased when combining both platforms. But I ain't gettin into that dumb argument again

It's all u @Cattle Mutilation lol...

You're also not including the Max #s.

Lol

I’m not even getting into that.

Which just goes back to my original point: while people are in communities hating some shiit, the larger audience often comes to an entirely different conclusion.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Won't get into max numbers because it doesn't fit whatever narrative there is

All you... @Cattle Mutilation keep fighting that fight lmaoo

You can't compare ratings with social media views tho. Like to keep it WWE related, I haven't bothered watching SD in a few weeks, prolly all of May, and some others seem to as well as evident by the dip in ratings. But it wouldn't surprise me if some of those lost viewers just watched the short recap they post on youtube the next day. There could be fans that stopped watching on a consistent basis but might see a segment posted on YouTube and check it out to see what's been going on.

The AEW Youtube account has 4 million subscribers. They never got that high a rating on any episode. So not surprising if the YT numbers are high compared to actual tv ratings. WWE at 109 mill. They not even touching 10% of that on all shows combined. Social media is crazy with the numbers.

Yeah….That’s why Drake suing Kendrick

 

[mannyrs13]

One thing i thought of is that ratings are domestic vs social media that's global. Ratings are US only and it makes up about 4% of the global population and that's with not even a big percentage watching wrestling shows. So imagine how much of the numbers are coming in internationally.
