After a massive loss in the Tuesday Night war last week, AEW Dynamite bounced back in stunning fashion. However, Tony Khan still faces scrutiny due to his outgoing remarks on his competition.

The episode brought out a shocker for fans as the WWE Hall of Famer Sting revealed his retirement plan. The Icon announced that his last dance in the AEW ring would take place at Revolution 2024. Although the segment was supposed to be a huge draw, the reality inside the arena showed the reverse. Visibly vacated seats inside the hall made fans turn on Khan again on social media.

AEW Dynamite overcame the shame of last week in terms of better viewership and ratings 

Despite the humiliating viewership graph last week, this week’s ratings and viewership data favor the Jacksonville-based company. According to the official source, an action-jacked Dynamite fetched 901,000 viewers and a .31 rating with the 18-49-year-old demographic. These numbers are way more than the past week’s statistics. Also, it pulled out better than what Dynamite did in the weeks prior to the Tuesday Night War.

That said, it didn’t bring any change to the AEW head honcho’s public image, as another humiliating scenario was laid open to the camera.

Wrestling fans give a cold shoulder to AEW and Tony Khan for the exposed reality of the arena

Tony Khan is quite accustomed to handling the trolls. A week ago, the AEW boss garnered a lot of brickbats attacking the WWE higher-ups brutally on social media. Even his own employees also counter-blasted his behavior.

Now, fans chastised him and admitted he needed to go for a smaller venue considering the poor number of attendees.

Another fan mocked commenting he won’t go to any AEW show because he doesn’t think anybody else will go either.

Another video emerged that showed a different picture focusing on a particular side of the hall that looked comparatively fuller. But fans spotted the trick and condemned it totally.

Some look really heartbroken since they think the ex-WWE star is actually entitled to see a better crowd showing up for him on his special announcement. Now, it remains to be seen what awaits for Khan in the upcoming Grand Slam.
