As a reminder, Nielsen made an adjustment to its Big Data + Panel numbers in late January, and even the original Big Data + Panel ratings make things difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said. AEW Dynamite is currently averaging a 0.111 demo rating and 643,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.166 and 620,000 for the same time period in 2025.
