A professional wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), is facing a decline in viewership despite attempts to justify the low numbers with various excuses. AEW's flagship show, Dynamite, has seen record-low ratings, with some episodes drawing fewer than 600,000 viewers. The promotion has struggled to maintain its initial momentum, and its reliance on strong lead-ins to build an audience is concerning.

The news comes as AEW negotiates a new TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, with President Tony Khan describing the talks as "the most important time ever in AEW." However, despite his optimism, the lack of a concrete agreement has led to concerns about the company's future.
