Tony Khan Comments On Ratings For First Episode Of AEW Rampage

AEW’s first show Dynamite premiered in 2019, and last week the first ever episode of AEW’s new show Rampage officially premiered on TNT. The first episode of AEW Rampage averaged 740,000 viewers with a 0.30 in the 18-40 key demographic.

It appears that AEW officials are happy with the ratings for the first episode as AEW President Tony Khan commented by calling it a “special episode” which will be “enshrined in wrestling history.”

“Our goal was to come out of the gate strong and establish Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on TNT as the place to catch the hottest commodities in professional wrestling,” said Tony Khan, CEO, GM and Head of Creative of AEW. “Coming off our red-hot debut episode of ‘AEW: Rampage’ last Friday that featured Dr. Britt Baker retaining her AEW Women’s World Championship against Red Velvet in the main event match, we’re all excited for The First Dance this Friday night at the sold-out United Center in Chicago. It will be a special episode of ‘AEW: Rampage’ that will be enshrined in wrestling history as a night that fans will remember for a very long time.”

There’s currently a lot of anticipation for the second episode of AEW Rampage which is set to air this Friday night from the United Center in Chicago. The event is being advertised as “The First Dance” and it’s rumored that CM Punk will be making his AEW debut. Stay tuned for updates.
