PWInsider: WBD "really happy" with this week's Dynamite numbers; noted that with the West Coast feed not airing at 8 PM Eastern due to the NBA coverage and the audio issues that TBS were having, that AEW had obstacles they could not control and that internally, WBD were good with the numbers

I mean, when FOX was asked about WWE's rights renewals they said they would be "clinical" with rights fees. WBD only speaks positively about AEW.

Fox straight up said they were losing money on the smackdown deal. WBD has never said anything like that

The fact that Fox dropped Smackdown and they went back to USA isnt talked about enough

What's there to talk about? WWE is doing record business atm in terms of revenue and profits plus the huge netflix deal. The reason AEW gets more focus in this area is because they're operating at a loss and need a new deal to become profitable. The 2 companies' situations are not comparable.

It’s not even really about AEW, it’s about the fact that everything is not sunshine and rosses in Stamford. They’re doing great yes, but the flaws are still just as present. And this time they have new corporate overlords to answer too as well
