Both had decent increases though which is a positive.
I was extremely happy to see Tegan Nox with the number one contenders match, if anyone deserves a title shot its her. I thought she was done after that second knee injury.

Should be noted though that AEW did much better with the 18-49 demo than NXT, which is the number advertisers and networks are most concerned with.
I enjoyed Fyter Fest for the most part. Cody/Hager was what it was. I will say that for as much as he's a pretty bland wrestler, Cody makes up for it in terms of in-ring storytelling and psychology.
I thought Shida/Ford was pretty good and big step forward for the women's division.
MJF/Wardlow vs. JE was good but I think they're breaking up Wardlow and MJF too soon.
My one criticism would be that they're really overdoing the distracted ref stuff and it's coming across as pretty stupid. That said, it's kind of a minor quibble when compared to all of the ridiculous #### WWE does to insult the intelligence of its fans.
I'd give the show a solid 3.5/5. Not their best work but still enjoyable.
