Saw an interesting thing regarding ratings in Canada:
You’ve all heard the narrative that AEW does better than WWE in Canada, right? Or that they’re highly competitive. Then you’ll hear that AEW is more viewed in the UK than WWE, but that doesn’t count because AEW is on free-to-air.
I saw someone point out that the WWE has multiple replays of Raw and SmackDown throughout a week. They also have recap shows that air numerous times. AEW doesn’t have anywhere near the exposure, and basically airs once a week. So comparing a single Raw viewership to AEW’s is disingenuous, because presumably those replays do numbers as well, otherwise other things would be in those slots.
