I honestly think AEW needs bigger stars if they want to go back to getting near that 1.4 rating. The one thing I will criticize AEW on is that we're not given a chance to know anything about the wrestlers outside of the big names like Mox, Omega, Jericho, Bucks, Lucha Bros, Pac, Hangman, Cody, and the fact that Britt is a dentist. Where are the promos for the other women wrestlers besides Britt Baker? What about promos for some of the tag teams? The wrestling is great, but great wrestling isn't going to get you very far if the crowd doesn't know or care about them.
But after SS, I fully expect NXT numbers to go right back down to around 600k.
