This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw its rating jump again after falling back a bit the week before. Wednesday’s show brought in a 0.16 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 724,000 viewers per Dave Meltzer. As always, these numbers do not include HBO Max viewing.

Those numbers are up 60% and 26.7% respectively from the previous week’s 0.10 demo rating and 571,000 viewers. The demo rating was still down from the 0.16 demo rating and 796,000 total viewers for the episode two weeks ago on September 2nd.

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 0.117 demo rating and 654,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.161 and 616,000 for the same time period in 2025.
