Now, if you think there are ACTUAL factors that give AEW an advantage over the upcoming Raw specifically then that’s something that can be discussed. I’d go back to my original point that any wrestling show beating any WWE show at any point in any 7-day period in any demographic is pretty sad for WWE because they SHOULD have such a huge lead that this shouldn’t even be a discussion...
But the blatantly flawed analogies, man...

There’s no difference in comparing a Nitro one week to a Raw in the previous week if you’re going to do the same with Dynamite and Raw. They’re not in the same cycle of events. Call it arbitrary all you want, but the week prior is the week prior. The events being staggered and not being simultaneous doesn’t make that an accurate comparison.
You can say that AEW’s demo one week was higher than Raw’s all-time low. Or point out that Raw this week did worse in one particular area than AEW last week, but to say they “beat” Raw is just utter bullshit.
When that abysmal Raw rating dropped, you could tell that the AEW rating was going to be much, much smaller than it was the previous week too. Why? Because we are moving forward through time and interest in wrestling is decreasing.
This narrative that AEW is catching Raw is absolute bullshit. And you know that, you’re just arguing because you find xrod and me annoying. The true story is that wrestling had a really bad week-to-week slip because wrestling is disappointing. And all this bullshit from sheep like Smeat about how it was a landmark event because AEW has somehow overwhelmed Raw much earlier than expected is utter tosh. What happened when the Dynamite number came out? It was fucking smaller. They lost.
