That was a GREAT match. They really made the most of every moment, enjoyed Hayter's moments where she was in control and the comebacks from Riho were good. Good ass showing for Hayter despite the loss, that backbreaker was devastating looking.

Adam Cole vs Wheeler Yuta on Rampage

Bryan dismantling the Dark Order before he gets to Hangman has been great stuff. I can't wait for their match-up at Winter is Coming.

Great show this week. Hayter/Riho was definitely my MOTN, loved the way they worked together.

Dynamite was good this week. Punk's promo to start off was pretty good. Got the crowd hyped. The battle royal was eh for the most part. Nice little swerve at the end, I did not see that one coming.

My favorite part of AEW right now over WWE is even with the high-flying spot fests, it doesn't feel like it is just a showcase for their moves.

Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 872,000 viewers on TNT, up 1.3 percent from last week. It's still the second-lowest audience for the show since July 7.

In the 18-49 demo, Dynamite finished fifth on the cable charts with a 0.33 rating. That's up 6.5 percent from last week and is the show's best rating in the demo since November 17.

The main competition for Dynamite, as usual, was NBA basketball on ESPN. The early game, which started just before Dynamite and ran head-to-head for the entirety of the show, averaged 1.26 million viewers and a 0.45 rating in the 18-49 demo.

Looking at the individual age groups, Dynamite was up in most categories but down 11.1 percent with males 12-34 and down 5.6 percent in people 18-34. The biggest increase was with females 12-34, where the show was up 10 percent.

As compared to this week in 2020, Dynamite was down 12.4 percent in overall viewers and down 26.7 percent in the key demo. Last year's episode came the week after Kenny Omega's AEW World Championship win and Sting's debut at Winter is Coming, so it did better in the ratings than usual.

That being said, it's the second straight week Dynamite has had a 20 percent decline year-over-year in the demo. The show recently had a stretch where 19 out of 20 weeks had a year-over-year increase.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of ratings for TNT airings of Dynamite, along with the 10-week averages prior to this week. This week's show was down 14.1 percent in viewers and down 13.2 percent in 18-49.

Not so great on total viewership, good it’s up from last week but that second-lowest audience for the show since July 7th isn’t good.

The company is on its last legs

Trent looked like The Blade and Jon Moxley did a fusion dance

 

[Hoss]

But seriously jokes aside he really will need to change his gear or something. He deadass looks too close to both those dudes now.

 

[Hoss]

I imagine @Mox's Little Helper lost her shit at the sight of Trent Moxley

 

[Chris]

Imagine the serve if Sue's van pulled up but she was bringing out a returning Moxley instead just unexplained

Trent "The Shiv" Moxley
