I liken a show like this to the US Women's World Cup. The final will draw huge ratings and trend (  ) on social media but its just the novelty of the spectacle. Afterwords, no one cares unless you have a plan and can hold onto a chunk of that audience.

The big issue we'll see AEW struggle with is as the novelty has run its course and AEW isnt doing "1st time ever" houses how (or can) they keep filling the seats. No one is immune to this issue. Its not a uniquely non-WWF issue. I suspect however that it will be a massive issue for this company. Maybe not in the UK though. The product seems very UK friendly as far as historical tastes are concerned.
As they tour theyll do well in just about any city thats a wrestling town but will people come back each time? Ehhhhh
