AEW stomped NXT in the ratings, which is unfortunate because NXT stomped AEW in the quality dept.
NXT put on a mini Takeover basically, they can't match that level every week can they? Honestly I don't think NXT was shoved onto TV on Wednesdays to beat AEW so much as siphon off some people ratings wise. :money

What was Raw's rating this week?  Did AEW even come to it? 

The only thing I'm gonna say in defense of that first AEW TV show is that having a lot of number one contender Cody and champ Jericho makes sense in a build up to their match.  That's about it- it was still too much time spent on a handful of people.

Raw had a 0.9 in 18-49 (shares aren't really comparable on different days but w/e) and 2.57 mil viewers on Monday, and that's with NFL beating them.

Seems Orton was on a video game stream last night drunk and shooting the shit with fans. Seems like it was a good time and there's some neat tidbits he shared
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/dd7wjf/notable_things_from_randy_ortons_stream_last_night/

also he dropped an N-bomb :lol

As a wrestling fan, it was awesome to see 3 months of build, 6 months of championship reign for Kofi pissed away in seconds so we can have a part timer wrestle someone that's had like 1 or 2 matches probably at Survivor Series.

Vasquez did some stuff for AAA Lucha Libre, but I have no idea what he did there and how much was wrasslin'. 

Also enjoyed watching the dirt sheets look stupid when they put out articles like this one from yesterday afternoon:
https://ewrestling.com/article/update-cain-velasquezwwe-negotiations-hit-wall

Quote
Uht-oh, it looks like things are getting complicated in terms of the ongoing negotiations to bring former UFC Heavyweight Champion and new AAA Lucha Libre performer Cain Velasquez into the WWE Universe.

In a follow-up to a previous report about WWE engaging in negotiations with Cain Velasquez, at one point a deal was close enough that WWE started steering storylines towards a possible match against Brock Lesnar.
