Does 83 weeks ring a bell? Ok maybe I'm jumping the gun a little lmao.

As much as Id like to say yes, I dont think thats feasible fo a few reasons. Dynamite will probably beat up RAW in the fall , especially with NFL coming back. But its also not a day vs fay equal comparison either.

But it will happen, once Cena leaves again Raw will go back to subpar numbers and MNF will kill it some more. Dynamite wont have that issue outside a few hockey games potentially moving them. So 83 weeks is doubtful, I expect them to win a good 10-15 weeks at the very least. in my non professional opinion, of course.

I did hear a rumor Rock will be back at some point week to week. Don't know if that is the case, but I believe once WWE starts feeling it's close they'll bring out their bag of tricks to try to get ratings back.

exactly, which is why Im not expecting AEW to win all the time. WWE still has tricks and people they can bring out to get big ratings.

obviously guys like cena and rock will be short term, but thell likely win weeks like that for sure . rocky especially

All I know is, this can only be good for everyone, rather you're a fan of WWE, AEW, or both, them being close in ratings and battling it out would be great. Both shows doing anything and everything they can to beat the other. Huge win for wrestling fans.

Yeah when I watching WCW vs WWE I always a WCW guy, but also watched both shows. Never understood fans who are only loyal to one brand.

Same, WCW guy through and through, but I surely watched WWF each week as well. God back when you had to tape stuff :bosque man, those were the days.

Have any of y'all checked out the comments on Daniel Bryan's IG pics? Man, people are in absolute shambles and it's actually... mostly alarming tbh. :lol

I didn’t shun the WWF, but I was definitely a WCW loyalist. When Nitro was on, I was watching Nitro.

I didn’t switch back and forth as much as most.

I always watched SmackDown, for the most part.

Yeah, Nitro was what I watched live. Raw was taped in another room and I would watch it after(well next day because school) I think only a FEW times did I watch Raw over Nitro(one of them being Raw is Owen)
