That number is a direct result of Tony Khan's random booking of nobody's versus top guys in WAY too competitive matches. MJF was right mocking it taking Punk SOOOO long to beat a guy with 2 wins in AEW.
They have squandered the major gift that fell into their laps getting Punk, Cole, and Bryan. They have lost almost a third of their Audience since the episode of Dynamite after All Out, which was only 3 months ago.
Can you imagine the backlash WWE would be getting if 3 months from now Smackdown was getting a 1.4 rating? Losing that many viewers in 3 months time is bonkers.
