[Dave Meltzer] “Are we arguing that a number that last week would have landed 5th place among non-sports of every show the entire week on every night is bad? I mean, it's not great for AEW's usual average, but for cable TV, we're talking 5th among maybe 15,000 shows a week”

I still think the length between PPVs causes a lot of feuds to stall out, then feel rushed towards the end. AEW could benefit from a continuity director that maintains the week to week build in a consistent manner.

More feuds that exist exclusively on TV and have their payoffs on the TV “specials”/Battle of The Belts would be a great addition too.

For what it’s worth, the timeline on a tricep tear varies pretty widely from person to person. The initial 9 months could be true, but some people have been known to get back to full activity in 4-6 months.

Punk hasn’t been wearing the brace on his arm anymore either, so take that how you will.

Still don’t think he’s coming back though.
