AEW All Out Star Ratings Revealed; September 13th Wrestling News Round-Up

AEW All Out might be one of the companies most divisive shows yet due to the graphic content included in Swerve Scott vs Adam Page and the brutal attack on Bryan Danielson from Jon Moxley and the BCC.

But… the show must have done something right as Dynamite ratings have seen a bump following the show,

According to reports from Dave Meltzer the September 11th edition of AEW Dynamite attracted 716,000 viewers, marking a significant improvement from the previous week’s figure of 660,000.

Writing in this morning’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer has provided an update on the WWE status of legendary tag team the ‘Motor City Machine Guns’.

Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin have been rumoured to have signed with the WWE for months following the expiration of their TNA contracts despite interest from AEW.

Now in a new update, Dave Meltzer has revealed that the duo are expected to start in NXT “imminently”.
