DYNAMITE RATING

- Coming off the Revolution pay-per-view and the rumors of Hardy appearing, Dynamite did 906,000 viewers this week, the best number since the January 15 episode. That is up 41,000 viewers from last week's show. Dynamite did a 0.35 in the 18-49 demographic, good for #5 in the top 50 cable chart. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

JAKE "THE SNAKE" ROBERTS DEBUTS ON DYNAMITE

- Jake "The Snake" Roberts made his first live appearance for AEW during Dynamite, interrupting a Cody Rhodes promo. Roberts, who had one side of his head shaved, said he came out because he was tired of hearing Cody cry about his loss to MJF. "The only reason I'm here is because I have a client. The dark side will be coming to AEW," Roberts said, as Cody looked confused. He told him he can bring his "one-trick pony" Arn Anderson with him too because it won't matter. "I'm not in AEW to take the whole pie. Just your share," Roberts said. Jake added that once, a wise man told him not to turn his back on someone he respects or is afraid of...and then he did exactly that to Cody, showing that he doesn't respect him nor he is afraid of him.

THE EXALTED ONE REMAINS A MYSTERY...FOR NOW

- The Dark Order's Exalted One remains a mystery, at least for now. After rampant speculations and an appearance by The Young Bucks on Matt Hardy's final episode of Free The Delete, Dynamite came and gone without any appearance from the mystery leader of The Dark Order. "Bucks of Youth, I knew you'd come," Hardy said as the brothers stepped out of their SUV as they pulled in front of the Hardy compound in Cameron, North Carolina. There have been several hints throughout Free The Delete and even on Being The Elite that Hardy and the Bucks were in communication, with the payoff being in episode 10 released yesterday at Noon. Matt is now a free agent and up until yesterday, several insiders reported that he still has not signed an AEW contract. His appearance on last night's Dynamite was wildly expected but fizzled a little bit after The Dark Order's eight-man tag team match was the second segment on the show. The Dark Order lost the match and Evil Uno then cut a promo afterward saying that The Exalted One will be furious. During Dynamite, Matt Hardy tweeted that his Free The Delete episode was currently the #2 trending video on YouTube worldwide. "The CHAOS is only beginning," Hardy wrote.

MJF FLIPPING OFF SEVEN-YEAR-OLD FAN GETS SOME MEDIA ATTENTION

- MJF flipping off a seven-year-old kid in Chicago during this past weekend made it on TMZ and is getting some media attention. MJF plays his heel part to perfection and it doesn't matter who it is as he wears his gimmick to the full especially during meet and greets. After posing for the photo with the kid and his father, MJF flipped the bird to the kid who is clearly seen taken aback a little bit. His father laughed...but then complained about it to Cody Rhodes, writing that he tried to laugh it off because he knows MJF's character but it really upset his kid and he doesn't understand since he's seven years old. Cody responded by saying they will have some free tickets next time they are in the area and he would come by and say hello during the show but noted that he as a father should have known what was coming. "Talent have freedom of expression so please don't think anybody is going to act any different than they do on TV," Cody wrote. The father wants AEW to rope in their talent for meet and greets and not act like jerks to kids, a tweet which didn't get over very well. In fact, the father has now also changed his Twitter feed to limited view due to the replies he was getting. "DISCLAIMER: If you have a meet/greet or inquire media wise for MJF, you'll get MJF," Cody added, saying that this was a paid meet and greet where the individual was specifically chosen by the paying customer.

STEVE AUSTIN RETURNING TO RAW ON MARCH 16

- The March 16 episode of Monday Night Raw will have a live special appearance from none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. It's appropriate for Austin to show up on that particular Raw as the show carries the 3/16 date. "AUSTIN 3:16 SAYS I WILL BE LIVE ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW on 3/16!! OH HELL YEAH!!! #316DAY," Austin wrote on Twitter. The WWE Hall of Famer is back on the WWE Network with a new episode of Broken Skull Sessions as well that day with an in-depth interview with fellow Hall of Famer Bret "Hit Man" Hart. To celebrate #316Day, WWEShop.com will also release exclusive Austin 3:16 merchandise, including a special Topps Austin 3:16 digital card set, and custom content across WWE’s global and social media platforms celebrating Austin’s legendary career.

NO PLANS TO CANCEL WRESTLEMANIA

- WWE has announced that there are zero plans to cancel WrestleMania even after news came that the coronavirus has reached Tampa Bay. "The health and safety of our fans, performers and employees are our top priorities and we are monitoring the situation closely with our partners and government officials in Tampa Bay. We remain committed to hosting WrestleMania at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, April 5, and like other entertainment properties in the U.S., there are currently no plans to cancel or postpone our upcoming events," a WWE statement said. Sporting events and major conferences around the world were either canceled or postponed and when it comes to sporting events, some games were played with no fans in stadiums. The panic that has hit in other countries has not hit the United States yet and no events have been canceled Stateside. The major problem will be those fans who are from countries who are banned from entering the United States due to the virus and those fans who visited these banned countries over the past few weeks who will also not be allowed to enter.

THE nWo ON SMACKDOWN TOMORROW

- The nWo will be appearing on Smackdown tomorrow night and will be part of Alexa Bliss' Moment of Bliss segment to talk the Hall of Fame induction. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman will be the three appearing and Hulk Hogan is not being advertised at all for tomorrow. Hogan will be joining the group for the Hall of Fame come April. This will make all four members of the group two-time Hall of Famers. The nWo, the Bella Twins, Batista, and John "Bradshaw" Layfield make up the 2020 class of the WWE Hall of Fame so far with The British Bulldog also expected to be announced over the next couple of weeks.

NXT RATING

- NXT was easily beaten this week in the ratings, getting 718,000 viewers for a show with two steel cage matches to take on the post-PPV Dynamite. That was only up 1,000 viewers from last week's show. NXT placed #20 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demo with a 0.23 rating. The difference between the two shows was of 188,000 viewers, an increase of 40,000 viewers from the prior week. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
