What’s responsible for AEW is the WWE getting giant TV rights fees. That’s it. That’s the only metric that makes something like AEW even slightly appealing to Shad Khan. You can spend millions of dollars on big stars and not make it back on gates and merch, but can get it back via TV.

I think AEW's roster is now at the point where we should be leaving behind those "off weeks" on Dynamite that we've experienced so often. Not as often since touring began but there have been a few episodes that weren't "awesome".
They have almost not excuse not to book every show with at least one must see match right now.
I've been vocal about Bray Wyatt joining AEW. It's obviously a huge catch if it happens. But they are packing a lot of talent right now with only 3 hours of proper TV a week and 4 PPV's a year. If I had a choice I'd probably chose Dunne over Wyatt.

They don’t have off weeks on purpose. They think that everything they are doing is gold, which is frustrating, because if you aren’t going to analyse yourself properly, how are you going to honestly improve?
The upside to bringing in world class talent like Bryan, Cole and Punk is that there shouldn’t be room for trash, and it should be almost automatic to put on better television. But this is the promotion that saw no issue with following up CM Punk’s debut with Matt Hardy vs. Orange Cassidy, so...
