The Ratings Breakdown For AEW Dynamite This Week

AEW Dynamite plunged in viewership and ratings this week despite Tony Khan delivering a stacked show.

AEW Dynamite drew 814,000 viewers and a 0.28 rating (368,000) in the key 18-49 demographic. The show also had an 0.21 rating in the key 18-34 demographic. The show faced very stiff competition with the NBA playoffs and Vanderpump Rules.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has shared additional details on the numbers, including the individual quarter hours.

There were some issues with Youtube TV in parts of the country, as well as with DVR playbacks. However, according to the report, this wouldn’t have been sufficient to have anything more than a minor impact.
