Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho took to Twitter/X to respond to a tweet that noted that the November 22 episode of AEW Dynamite beat the November 24 episode of WWE SmackDown in the total viewership and the demographic rating. Dynamite scored 845,000 viewers with a 0.26 rating, while SmackDowm drew 789,000 viewers with a 0.24 rating.
Jericho simply wrote, “But I thought the sky was falling!!??”. It is not clear exactly what he was referring to, but AEW has been dealing with some challenges, including AEW World Champion MJF suffering a shoulder injury.

The tweet claimed that FS1 and TBS are in roughly the same number of homes. As of July 2023, FS1 was in 71.375 million homes, per Sports Business Journal. Sports Business Journal reported in 2022 that TBS was in 78.842 million homes, but they lost over three million viewers since the beginning of 2023.
It’s important to note that FS1 is in far fewer homes than SmackDown’s typical channel, FOX.
