This episode did very well in viewership, having an average viewership of over 1.046 million. “AEW Dynamite” was up over 38% from the episode one year ago, back when the show was in direct competition with NXT.  Other than the fact that “AEW Dynamite” is no longer in direct competition with NXT, the only other significant change is that Jeff Hardy is on AEW-TV now, which shows that Hardy is having an impact on AEW’s viewership.

There has been a lot of speculation that Julia Hart will be joining Malakai Black’s House Of Black faction in the near future. This would be a smart move, as it appears that the House Of Black wants to dominate AEW, and this won’t be truly possible unless the faction has a representative in the women’s division. in the near future.

After Adam Cole’s victory, he had a fight with AEW World Champion Adam Page and stole his belt. Clearly, they will be having a rematch in the near future, and this time, Cole should win the championship. As a face champion, Page doesn’t have many new heel opponents as options. Other than Chris Jericho, Malakai Black, and Miro, I don’t think there are any other heels left that most fans are interested in seeing challenge Page for the championship. However, with Cole as a heel champion, there are many faces that fans would be interested in seeing go after the championship: Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Christian Cage, Sting, PAC, and Dustin Rhodes, for example.

According to this week’s official AEW tag team rankings, Chris Jericho and Daniel Garcia defeated the number one ranked team. Perhaps the first step of possible Jericho Appreciation Society dominance in AEW will be capturing the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

Also during this episode, we found out who the first challenger will be to Thunder Rosa and her AEW Women’s World Championship, as she was attacked by Nyla Rose. I suggested Nyla Rose last week, and Rose is AEW’s best option right now.
