AEW Collision saw a notable ratings boost this past week, but according to Dax Harwood, it wasnt just the in-ring action that had fans tuning init was his unintentional strip show.
Taking to X on March 19, Harwood reacted to the 12.4% increase in viewership, cheekily implying that his accidental near-exposure during FTRs match against The Undisputed Kingdom was the reason for the boost.
Collision rating up? I think I know why Harwood posted, along with four photos from the match. The images show him suplexing Roderick Strong off the top rope while grabbing Strongs trunksnearly pulling them off in the process. The spot resulted in a very close call, with Strongs gear barely staying in place.
Fans, of course, ran with the joke, flooding the replies with comments like Give this man a raise and Strong almost got exposed in more ways than one. Others jokingly demanded AEW send Harwood a wardrobe malfunction bonus for the unintended viral moment.
Whether or not Harwoods stunt actually saved AEWs ratings is up for debate, but its clear the moment didnt go unnoticed. Do you think this unexpected moment played a role in Collisions boost? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
