“#1 Show”: Tony Khan Proudly Announces AEW’s Success After Banger Main Event on Dynamite

It’s difficult being a wrestling promotion trying to find mainstream success. This is especially true with an entity like the WWE occupying the #1 spot. Getting steady viewership on the network can often be hard. Impact Wrestling and even Tony Khan’s AEW have at times suffered with the weight of competition. However, after the most recent episode of AEW Dynamite, it seems things have changed.

The recent episode of AEW Dynamite was highly anticipated as it featured Samoa Joe defending his AEW World Championship title against Hook.

Tony Khan’s AEW Dynamite reaches #1 spot on cable television

After months of low viewership and dips that should be worrying, things seem to have turned around for Khan and AEW. Taking to social media, the AEW head honcho had some good news for the fans. The news was regarding the surge of views AEW Dynamite gained. Khan said, “Thanks to your incredible support, Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite on TBS was the #1 show on cable yesterday!”

Khan also posted a list of all the shows that aired on the day. AEW occupied the #1 spot, which it not had been on for quite some time. While this is great news for the company, keeping it steady and continuing the viewership numbers is the real challenge. AEW Dynamite’s main event saw Joe retain his title after locking Hook in the Coquina Clutch for the win. The notable AEW figure will hope not to let this momentum slip as he aims to weave his magic for the upcoming events.

Gone are the days when the WWE and WCW would take shots at each other during the show. While it is still done in a much more subtle manner today, the things Khan has said on social media can be considered outrageous.

From calling Vince McMahon, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels’ names to comparing Hook to Jinder Mahal in terms of who deserves a title shot, Khan has done it all. Only time will tell if Khan takes a step back from these social media antics this year. What do you think of AEW reaching the #1 spot on cable?
