All Elite Wrestling has given the fans déjà vu of WCW. Back in the ’90s, the war between WCW and WWE was arguably the best period of wrestling history. Now, thanks to AEW President Tony Khan, the fans have a similar feeling.
Ever since its inception, the fans haven’t stopped comparing it to WWE and everything related to it. From fan attendance to viewerships, every little detail is compared by the fans.
There have been times when WWE was dominant with its viewership. However, there have also been times when AEW totally squashed WWE in terms of viewership. Quite recently, some interesting reports have surfaced on the internet about the same.

Acknowledge Her trends on Twitter following The Bunny vs Ruby Soho on AEW
Tony Khan predicting the future was not the only highlight of the show. Following the Bunny versus Ruby Soho’s match at AEW Rampage, the words, “Acknowledge Her” were trending on Twitter.
It all started when Dave Meltzer tweeted that Ruby Soho and The Bunny tied with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar’s contract signing segment on WWE SmackDown.
Ruby Soho vs. Bunny tied Roman & Lesnar, both at 0.23.

It sent wrestling fans into a frenzy, and this is how Twitter reacted.
Ruby Soho vs. Bunny tied in the ratings with the Roman & Lesnar Contract signing, at 0.23 million viewers.
In other words, Ruby Soho is just as big of a draw as Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar on an even playing field.
