All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite premiered on TNT on last night and went head to head with NXT on the USA Network for the first time in the process. We're still waiting for viewership numbers to come in but WWE has now issued a statement regarding the premiere and the company offers its congratulations...while possibly preparing to be beaten in terms of ratings.
"Congratulations to AEW on a successful premiere," they said in a statement. "The real winners of last night's head-to-head telecasts of NXT on USA Network and AEW on TNT are the fans, who can expect Wednesday nights to be a competitive and wild ride as this is a marathon, not a one-night sprint."
Chances are they're alluding to the fact that AEW will beat NXT in terms of viewership numbers this week, hence why they're talking about it being a marathon and not a sprint. While they never came close to beating WWE, TNA did good numbers once upon a time and we know how that went. Chances are WWE is expecting the same to happen again.
What do you guys think?
