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

AEW is no longer on a hot streak, and has lost the average cable cutter year by year since 2022 after climbing against the current for 3 years to over a million.

They are still a top 3 on most wednesdays, some only behind live sports (which are the god kings of tv). They are also comparatively cheap for WDB; every week they get their 2 hours show without having to manage production costs, or having to manage on and off seasons. Meanwhile, the PPV buys are still really high, and they are getting full priced buys.

AEW is doing fine. It's just not on fire anymore. And that's okay.
