AEWs attempt to spotlight Dynamite on Max hasnt gone as planned, and the latest tweet from the company promoting their January 8 show only added fuel to the fire. The official AEW account tweeted a video urging fans to watch Dynamite on Max, but instead of rallying support, the comment section became a hub for fans to troll the company and air their grievances.
ATTENTION, AEW AUDIENCE! AEW is now streaming on @SportsOnMax! Dont miss #AEWDynamite on Wednesdays LIVE at 8pm ET/7pm CT! the tweet read. However, fans were quick to roast the message, with responses calling out everything from the lack of picture-in-picture during broadcasts to comparisons with WWEs Netflix debut.
One fan sarcastically wrote, Please bring Picture-In-Picture to @StreamOnMax; or even better, just ditch the commercials on Max. Another didnt hold back, posting a GIF of the Netflix logo, referencing WWE RAWs highly successful debut on the streaming giant earlier this week.
The frustration didnt stop there. Comments like PLEASE WATCH ON MAX SO WE CAN BLAME OUR SH*TTY RATINGS ON THAT! and Netflix making Tony lose his f***ing marbles. dominated the thread, while others pointed out AEWs struggles to break into Maxs Top 10 streaming rankings. Shame the first weeks were not that good huh? Couldnt even reach top 10 on your premiere. Yet RAW is #1 on Netflix UK and US, a fan remarked, summing up the sentiment.
Fans also called out AEWs broader strategy, with one user writing, Terrible business model with no intentions of growing interest in the product. Another took a jab at the promotions audience size, sarcastically commenting, Im sure all 53 people will watch.
Despite AEWs efforts to draw attention to their Max streaming deal, the backlash in the comments section highlights growing dissatisfaction among viewers, particularly regarding Dynamites presentation on the platform. The absence of picture-in-picture, combined with the presence of commercials on an ad-free tier, has only fueled the negativity.
