Tony Khan announced that AEW Dynamite had achieved a major milestone this past week.
AEW Dynamite featured a unification bout between Jon Moxley and CM Punk for the Undisputed AEW World Championship. The show also featured a trios clash between Aussie Open and Death Triangle, and some major implications for the upcoming AEW All Out event.
During the clash between Mox and Punk, what appeared to be a dream match in the making, turned out to be a one-sided decimation of the Lineal Champion. Interim Champion Jon Moxley immediately took advantage of his opponent's injured ankle, unifying the world title in just over three minutes.

Shocking result or not, the prospect of a dream clash helped the Wednesday night flagship show in raking in the viewers. Dynamite broke the 1 million mark barrier in average viewership.
Tony Khan took to Twitter to announce that Dynamite had also achieved another major milestone this week. The show ranked number one in both male and female 18-49 key demos, enjoyed the biggest total audience since February, and was the thirteenth in its chronology to rank in the top two for cable channels.
The head booker also promoted this upcoming Rampage. Included was exclusive backstage footage for CM Punk and the ROH title clash between Dustin Rhodes and Claudio Castagnoli.

Fans on Twitter weighed in on AEW Dynamite's milestone
TK's announcement drew conversation from a variety of fans who celebrated the milestone, suggested reasons for it, and offered their own feedback on the product.
The fan below, for example, directed responsibility for the rating performance towards the prospect of MJF making his return. They also expressed their disappointment at the fact the return didn't come to fruition.
"The female demographic loves Daniel Garcia and Chris Jericho's sparkly shoes and the vegan dragon!"
"Claudio vs Blake Christian please"
"It would be pretty cool if Hangman got to wrestle here and there"
"Tony don't drop Sammy vs Eddie please"
The above fan, however, opted to go an entirely different route. Not only did they suggest that CM Punk should no longer be a part of the promotion, but they also claimed Bryan Danielson is a WWE spy.
