AEW Dynamite Audience Drops Below 700,000 Viewers, Ratings Down

– F4WOnline.com’s Dave Meltzer reported the viewership and key demo ratings for last night’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Numbers were down overall for last night’s live TBS broadcast.

Last night’s show averaged 683,000 viewers. Viewership dropped from last week’s show, which averaged 762,000 viewers. This is the lowest audience for Dynamite in over six months, since the October 10, 2023 broadcast. That show drew an average audience of 609,000 viewers. That was the Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite that aired head-to-head against WWE NXT.

This is also the lowest viewing audience for a regular airing of Dynamite (excluding preemptions) since January 6, 2021. That broadcast drew (via Wrestlenomics) 662,000 viewers.

Ratings were also down in the P18-49 key ratings demo. Dynamite drew an average 0.23 rating. The rating fell from last week’s AEW Dynamite, which averaged a 0.26 rating.

AEW Dynamite was also against NHL Playoff game coverage on ESPN on Wednesday. The Boston vs. Toronto NHL game on ESPN drew 1.238 million viewers (via Sports TV Ratings). Full rankings data for Wednesday programming is not yet available.

AEW did 683K/0.23 last night. West Coast live hurt 8% and obviously the sports competition is going to hurt everything. Cue ignorant "excuses" folk even though this was well known in advance.
