There was roughly 1.8 Million people that watched wrestling on Wednesdays in 2019. That 8% growth from 2020 compared to 2021 is the small amount of people who now watch AEW on Wednesday instead of NXT.

It’s amazing how people try to pass off AEW no longer having competition within its genre as growth. Interest in wrestling and interest in AEW is declining. The TBS move is likely to be tougher on them than apologists make out (some try to present it as a promotion). They are taking over a slot from a show that is more popular than them. It’s not going to be pretty.
