AEW All In 2025 peaked at 9.6k viewers representing a 45% increase from the previous PPV offering, Double or Nothing. This would indicate roughly how many buys were received for the show on the Youtube Platform

So far, the AEW Double or Nothing PPV has peaked with 6,600 views on YouTube during the Anarchy in the Arena match which indicates thats roughly how many buys they received for the show on the platform .

Its incredible how quickly RAF has grown. Only 10 months since their debut show and they are already expanding internationally.

@wrestling_tko These two parts of your graphic show the gap closing. This is only up to 2025. Its closed further in 2026 as well. Plus last week the gap was 0.39m, which would be the smallest ever if the info on your graphic is correct

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

Dynamite really has closed the gap with Smackdown over the last few years. Last week Dynamite was 65% of Smackdown's audience.

@DutchMatrix6IX Why would the Euro shows be any different from say the taped delayed Saudi shows?

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@Best4Business15 @IndigoGordon Its not because as long as the methodoligynused was the same in the week before and after the taped show, you can compare them

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@Best4Business15 @IndigoGordon Ratings were never fucked up. The methodology switched. So long as the methodology used was the same for the weeks in question. It makes no difference

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@MrMcNitro316 Its random. Sometimes nu.bers drop. Sometimes they go up. There is no clear pattern to show that taped vs live makes a difference.

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

I always hear this excuse. Go back to January this year when Smackdown dropped below 1 million. Jan 9th 2026 & Jan 16th 2026 were on tape delay from Germany & UK. The folllowing week on Jan 23rd was live from Canada. Which show did the lowest audience?

[thisguy1214 @MikeJ0nesssssss]

@Switchblade97 @Best4Business15 Early smackdowns do really bad on tape delay

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@ToddDream42448 And it was averaging 1.48m in 2025 using that same graphic. Now do the same for dynamite. Then tell me is the gap smaller each year, or bigger each year.

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@DutchMatrix6IX @IndigoGordon So you are saying only Euro shows are affected when they are tape delyaed and not taped delayed shows in general?

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@DutchMatrix6IX @IndigoGordon That doesnt tell you anything because many tape delay shows are holiday shows. Take the non holiday delays like the two from 2025. Nocember 7th and May 23rd and there is practically no difference. Sure you can be disingenuous and us July 4th

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@DutchMatrix6IX @IndigoGordon Here are two more examples from last year. November 7th and May 23rd are taped shows. You can find other examples where taoed shows drop but its random or holiday periods like July 4th.

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@IndigoGordon I always hear this excuse. Go back to January this year when Smackdown dropped below 1 million. Jan 9th 2026 & Jan 16th 2026 were on tape delay from Germany & UK. The folllowing week on Jan 23rd was live from Canada. Which show did the lowest audience?

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@ToddDream42448 Bring the numbers up. Do Jan to May for 2024, 2025 and 2026 and compare Dynamite vs Smackdown. You will see the gap has closed each year.

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@MikeJ0nesssssss @Best4Business15 You do realise that what you are using as proof for VPN viewers is the exavt same thing the sickos say. They'll tell you "Everyone i know wat hes on MAX" and social media polls show most watching on MAX. You are using their same logic.

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@MikeJ0nesssssss @Best4Business15 Sure. But you've also got viewers who watch on MAX. Or are you going to count the mythical VPN Netflix viewers as many while pretending no one watches on MAX?

[Switchblade @Switchblade97]

@ToddDream42448 If youve been tracking this over the last two years, you would know its not one week. Do the average for the same time frame in 2025 and then 2024 and then make the comparison and show if the gap jas or hasn't closes.

@jkranites It may be a fine. Given it's Delaware, there may be corporate sanctions as well. If Vince McMahon & Nick Khan have to pay $ personally, it does matter.

The long-term picture is this first lawsuit is providing a blueprint for current & future TKO lawsuits re: evidentiary patterns
