MJF and The Young Bucks react to AEW's huge ratings number
AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and MJF have taken to Twitter to celebrate AEW garnering 1.09 million viewers for its Blood and Guts episode.
The main event featured The Pinnacle defeating The Inner Circle in a Blood and Guts match. The bout has divided fans, with some praising the level of violence while others criticized the ending, where Jericho took a bump into a crash pad.
While AEW Dynamite faced a slump in ratings last week, it bounced back spectacularly by becoming the most-watched show on cable on Wednesday night.
In reaction to the news, AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks posted a telling picture. It features Matt Jackson lying down in the ring watching Jon Moxley getting beaten down by The Elite.
The undisputed star of the show, MJF, also responded to the development. His tweet indicated The Pinnacle's rise to the top of the mountain in AEW. It is to be seen if AEW can sustain its audience for next week's episode, which also has a loaded card.
