AEW Dynamite aired shortly after 10:00 PM Eastern on TNT due to the NBA game. The belief is that Dynamite had a strong first quarter hour due to the NBA lead-in with more casual viewers watching than usual.
Chris Jericho was the first person to appear on Dynamite and he ended up trending on Twitter. However, it appears that many of the tweets were negative with non-regular viewers making fun of Jericho’s appearance:
