AEW President Tony Khan addressed the ratings decline of AEW Dynamite prior to Saturday’s AEW Worlds End 2023 pay-per-view event.
Khan noted that the dip in ratings was largely above the overall cable decline. He said,
“You say RAW is down 8% and Dynamite’s down 10%. That’s very similar, and both of those are ahead of the decline in cable television. Cable television is down a lot more than 10% year-over-year. And both of us, RAW is down 8% and Dynamite down 10%, are beating the hell out of gravity. And both of us are looking at a big pay raise this year, for Dynamite and RAW.”
During Saturday’s AEW Worlds End 2023 pay-per-view event, WWE Hall of Famer Sting interacted with longtime wrestling superfan, Vladimir Abouziede, who was seated in the front row.
