When do you see Dynamite pulling better numbers than Raw?

[Moon Bird]

So Dynamites best viewership is 1.273 million. Raw's worst viewership of 2021 is 1.472 million.

Dynamite getting over 1.472 million viewers is highly plausible...

so my question is

When do you see Dynamite pulling better numbers than Raw in the same week?

Idk...awhile? And it's not something I'm cheering for exactly bc I think the most likely scenario of it happening is the Raw numbers dropping more than the Dynamite numbers rising....and I'd like them both rising in a perfect world

 

[Hidden Blaze]

This is a tough question. I don’t see it this year tbh. Year is almost over, so just don’t see them doing it yet. Could be next year maybe, but it will take a few more things to happen probably. But 2022 at the earliest… but maybe 2023 more likely. But I’ll go 2022 on poll.

When the 50+ who are doubling Raw's rating just by themselves finally move on, tbh

 

[Comrade Khan]

this time next year. they already have beaten or tied their demos.

Yeah, I'm not wishing that Raw numbers drop to meet Dynamites at all.

I don't watch Raw but I want it to keep doing well as wrestling doing good as an industry is good for us all.

My post did get me thinking though....who would AEW have to sign in order to pull Raw numbers?

 

[Comrade Khan]

I do think it will be raw viewship dropping more so than aew's rising THAT much more but I could be wrong! I wasn't expecting steady 1.1 either

The thing is WWE would have to actively try to stop the bleeding and book good stuff on raw. its been almost 3 years and Ive yet to see any of that

Well yeah, that's what I'm hoping for lol if they don't then the numbers will keep getting record lows with less competition

The most likely scenario where Dynamite beats raw regularly is if raw stays shit or gets even worse which I'd prefer not to happen. Dynamite is going to produce great shows regardless I think

 

[Hoss]

Am I allowed to just say that I don't care as long as AEW's numbers are good enough to keep them on the air and delivering entertaining TV?

This is a perfectly acceptable answer

yeah i feel you. i dont WANT that to happen either fwiw

yes, and I would agree. Im not worried at all about the former though. tnt/tbs are currently getting a bargain dollar per viewer

If nothing changes (they did stack raw in the draft so who knows), I'd expect next football season to be even worse lol

yeah thats the current trend over the last ... well a lot of years.

nfl starts , viewers drops
mania bump
viewers drop again
never recover quite to pre nfl levels.
repeat

its not a good trend sadly
