The first week of all ten shows providing us with qualifying matches we saw another increase in the amount of wrestling. However, when you take out 205 Live, which did not air a show last week, the totals for the other nine shows dropped by four minutes from last week. NXT saw the biggest drop from last week, going down 28 minutes, which allowed AEW to win the week with 52 minutes of wrestling. We still got 100 minutes of wrestling from the two shows. I believe this is the first time that we saw more than 40 matches in a week.
Only officially announced 24/7 Title Matches will be considered for this column.
When looking at the matches, if there is a [c] next to the match, that means that the show went to commercial during the matches. All times are rounded to the nearest minute so if a match is 4 minutes 29 seconds, it will be listed as 4 minutes. If a match is 5 minutes 41 seconds, it will be listed as 6 minutes. All times are based on my timing while watching the shows and should not be considered as the definitive totals.
