(Jan. 23, 2020)
On Tuesday evening, results for the first ratings battle of the year came in. EWA’s Revolution continued the company’s winning streak by outperforming PWI’s Asylum 7,296,500 to 7,187,500 – a margin of 119,834 more fans tuned into the Elite Wrestling Alliance.
This number is an increase of EWA’s debut episode of Revolution, which drew 7,289,000 fans. Furthermore, the EWA saw an increase in the margin of viewers who chose Revolution over Asylum, an increase from 101,500 to 119,834 for a total increase of 19.24%.
EWA’s Revolution featured the highly anticipated in-ring encounter between Benny Mouse and John Brown, which saw the debut of Harper and Rowan, the Bludgeon Brothers. Also, Randy Orton managed to retain the EWA World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Jesse Hash and Nikki Bella retained the EWA Knockouts Championship over Nikki Cross. Bella also successfully evaded an attempt at a Money in the Bank cash in from Ember Moon.
Elsewhere on the show, Rey Mysterio delivered the performance of a lifetime when he picked up a victory over Metal Head, Nia Jax defeated Charlotte Flair and AJ Styles retained the X-Division Championship against CM Punk in a hellacious Falls Count Anywhere match!
This morning, Molly Mouse issued the following statement:
“Though critics and competition alike choose to label us erratic, the American people feel otherwise. The Jan. 6 episode of Revolution saw a more than 19% increase in our audience over that of our competition, while our competition saw a drop in their overall audience from the December 9th battle.
The EWA, under the leadership of Molly Mouse and John Brown, will continue to provide the best wrestling product in the world. We thank the fans for their continued support. As always, stay tuned!”
A statement will be released following the results of the head to head battle from Jan. 13, and the EWA was off this past Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The EWA returns January 27, just one week before the board’s meeting in which John Brown has asked for the removal of Benny Mouse as chair.
