Select Portions: MLW, AEW, Smackdown info
Added 2023-02-24 16:59:02 +0000 UTC- In case you couldn't tell by the press release touting AEW Dynamite's numbers, sources we spoke to at WBD were very happy with the February 24 episode's viewership.
- Fightful interviewed independent talent B3cca, and will be announcing her upcoming Limitless Wrestling opponent soon.
- To answer a question from our Q&A, we're told that MLW is working on getting on Reelz on Amazon Prime.
- MLW sources claim that other metrics added roughly 40,000 viewers to the reported viewership number for Underground on Reelz this week.
Potential Smackdown spoilers
- Sami Zayn is set for Smackdown
- Tegan Nox, Karrion Kross, New Day, Bray Wyatt, Charlotte Flair, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, Ricochet, Rey Mysterio, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, Imperium and Madcap Moss are all set to be in town for Smackdown.
- WWE will have a Bloodline locker room set up, per usual.
- Some that we spoke to didn't get creative notes until late Thursday, which is a little later than usual, but no cause for alarm.
- Tegan Nox is supposed to be working an injury angle on the show.

2023-02-24 23:19:28 +0000 UTCI’d expect more 900,000 here and in winnipeg (I think it’ll probably be elite vs JAS trios there ME). SD should be 2.3 million this week, RAW should be 1.99 million, rampage at 300,000 or so this week and next week 400,000 with the live show

2023-02-24 21:54:48 +0000 UTCThere were no NBA games this week. Next week, there will be, along with the return of Survivor. I’d expect around 900k again

2023-02-24 21:42:22 +0000 UTCOk... Like I said I found it more fun to watch than raw this past week. If you are done forcing your opinion on me. I hope you have a great day.

2023-02-24 20:24:14 +0000 UTCYes I thought it was better.

2023-02-24 19:31:50 +0000 UTCPlans didn’t change last minute, they received notes a few hours later than normal, and plans change sometimes, vince did it every week not once in awhile, quit trying to drum up hysteria

2023-02-24 19:28:07 +0000 UTCThat's your subjective opinion but the announcement does not seem like the reason for high ratings and it drew the lowest on the show. I thought the episode was better than raw or last week's smackdown.
slick
2023-02-24 19:17:07 +0000 UTCWell if you look at the quarter hours the lowest viewed segment was the announcement so yeah I think you're reaching their pal.

2023-02-24 19:08:32 +0000 UTCThanks for the MLW/Reelz update.

2023-02-24 17:49:39 +0000 UTCAnd I'm actually nervous because last she was legit hurt they did an injury angle to write her off. Really, really hope she's okay and this is just an angle.

2023-02-24 17:49:25 +0000 UTCOkay. I guess I can breathe easier.

2023-02-24 17:39:43 +0000 UTCSounds like an angle to start her next feud or advance another and give her something to do. At least it won't be sent to the Network post show this time.
Fan
2023-02-24 17:38:56 +0000 UTCI hope you’re right. I love Tegan

2023-02-24 17:34:54 +0000 UTCYou have a typo, you meant WBD was happy with the February 22nd viewership not February 24th which is today.😁

2023-02-24 17:16:38 +0000 UTC“injury angle” would typically mean just an angle
ARose Lab
2023-02-24 17:14:21 +0000 UTCShould be the same next week… big PPV next week… I expect it to stay in the 900,000 range until 3/22

2023-02-24 17:09:04 +0000 UTCWatch the Dynamite rating drop next week after viewers got duped by Tony Khan's big announcement.
