There was a story from this week's episode of Fightful's The Hump that got a lot of attention regarding some frustration among women regarding booking in WWE. We had a lot of viewers asking about specific frustration mentioned at the 2022 Royal Rumble. We'll tell one of those stories today on the $6 tier.
In addition to being happy with Grand Slam, we're told that AEW was very happy with Wednesday's Dynamite.

I'm glad you mentioned the fireflies during Raw. I wondered if the audience was promoted to do that. Thanks for clarifying they weren't
