Tony Khan Shades Undertaker & John Cena For Not Pulling Enough Viewers For WWE NXT

WWE brought a packed show this week with NXT, and there is no denying that. The Undertaker and John Cena were both on the show, and it was capped off in a huge way with the next day’s viewership numbers. Although AEW Dynamite lost the night, Tony Khan still had some shade to sling.

AEW Dynamite garnered 602k viewers this week. They were over 300k short from NXT’s 921k, but that wasn’t 1 million.

Tony Khan logged onto X today, and he had some shade to sling. He pointed out that The Undertaker and John Cena had never appeared for a WWE show that was under 1 million viewers in decades.

This week, 2 active decades-long ratings streaks from 2 great legends were ended With all due respect, until this week’s head-to-head AEW on TBS vs WWE on USA, neither John Cena nor Undertaker had ever been on a WWE show with under 1 million total viewers + under 400k in the demo
