Seems SD's increase with last week's episode might not be accurate due to issues with FOX's broadcast. Some stations were not airing SD and instead were covering the riots during that time slot.

How significant that changes the actual number won't be known until tomorrow at the earliest.

Also based on some new data, AEW managed to hit 1 million viewers at one point during last week's episode. Think it would be the first time since launch month or so where AEW had that happen during the middle of a show.

Cody and Khan came up with the detail work on the match and the producers were Christopher Daniels, Colt Cabana and Billy Gunn. The Battle Royal actually beat the Mike Tyson segment.
