AEW Dynamite Wins The Wednesday Night Wars For 10th Week In A Row

AEW Dynamite Wins The Wednesday Night Wars For 10th Week In A Row

With Matt Hardy being a free agent and the Young Bucks appearing in his latest YouTube video, there was a lot of curiosity amongst fans whether he would debut on the 4th March post-Revolution episode Dynamite, possibly as The Exalted One.

Hardy didn’t appear, but the show was noteworthy with Jake “The Snake” Roberts debuting and cutting a promo on Cody Rhodes saying he was bringing in a client to AEW. There was also PAC forming a group called Death Triangle with the Lucha Brothers and a main event of Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara defeating Jon Moxley and Darby Allin, followed by the Inner Circle powerbombing Moxley off the stage through tables.

NXT battled this show by having two steel cage matches with Dakota Kai defeating Tegan Nox, and Roderick Strong beating Velveteen Dream. Adam Cole would get involved in the men’s cage match and begin setting up a future match between himself and Dream for the NXT Championship.

The final ratings saw Dynamite having 906,000 average viewers up 4.7% from last week, and NXT having 718,000 average viewers up 0.14% from the previous week. This takes the current Wednesday Night Wars score to Dynamite 18, NXT 3, Tie 1.

Next week NXT is live from the Performance Centre and has NXT North American Champion Keith Lee defending against Cameron Grimes, plus NXT Tag Team Champions Dunne and Riddle defending against Fish and O’Reilly. Dynamite has announced MJF, and The Butcher and The Blade against Jurassic Express, plus Cody Rhodes vs. Ortiz.
