AEW beat RAW's 18-49 demographic last week. What are you talking about?

As to your second point, are you suggesting they only realized the NFL was coming one week before it happened? Because how else to explain the sudden shift in booking? It's just coincidence that AEW beat them in the demographic on Wednesday and then BY THE WEEKEND everything changed? C'mon...

Raw's 18-49 demographic rating the week before Dynamite topped them: 0.54
Raw's 18-49 demographic rating the week that Dynamite topped them: 0.52 (a 0.02 drop on a Labor Day episode) -- Does AEW even get the win this week if it's a non-Labor Day Monday for Raw?

AEW has not been bringing Raw down. They have just been doing a wonderful job of building up toward and now above Raw in the 18-49 ratings.

I asked you previously in this thread if I were to believe the stories about Vince changing his mind so much and so late on scripts and storyline ideas and you told me "Of course." MNF did way more damage to Raw's 18-49 demographic rating in one night than all of what AEW previously did to them combined. But yeah, there was such greater panic and need for counter strategy against AEW than MNF.
