No surprise. I figured AEW would close the gap a little bit out of hardcore fan pity. People would have seen the ratings slaughter last week (a proper one, not a few thousand viewers) and tuned in to help them out. That goodwill is going to fade though. NXT just had to keep putting on less offensive content.
Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy next week and no AEW Title match. I imagine that will hurt the hardcores’ patience with it.
