AEW have been consistently doing better than WWE’s Wednesday night offering of NXT ratings for quite some time now. It would only be natural for AEW to possibly jump over to Monday nights to compete with WWE’s biggest show, Raw.
Harkening back to TNA jumping over to Monday nights to start a “war”, Dave Meltzer was currently asked on Twitter by @pau316: “Do you ever think AEW will compete on Monday nights with RAW?”
Without much thought, Meltzer replied by saying: “There are no plans nor interest in running on Mondays.”
AEW have done a great job at their Wednesday programming and there really isn’t a need to switch up their weekly airing schedule.
Without currently airing on Monday nights, AEW still beats RAW more often than not as-is via the ratings chart.
AEW have made a name for themselves without directly saying they are competing with anyone since their start. AEW has never been about AEW vs WWE. AEW have always wanted to carve out their own name.
Judging by the weekly rising ratings for AEW, they are doing a fine job by staying in their own lane while also pulling ahead of the traffic on a regular basis.
There are no plans nor interest in running on Mondays. https://t.co/B8WOWX69T4
