The Wrestling Observer and Dave Meltzer have the ratings and viewership numbers for this week’s AEW Dynamite. Numbers were down across the board this week, as AEW continued the build to this year’s All In London at Wembley Stadium.

Viewership dropped to a 10-week low, with the show averaging 587,000 viewers. Viewership dropped 11% from last week’s show, which averaged 658,000 viewers.

Ratings were also down in the P18-49 key ratings demo, with AEW Dynamite drawing a 0.10 rating. The number was down from the 0.14 rating in the same key demo for last week’s episode. This is the lowest key demo rating for Dynamite in eight weeks, since the June 24 show.

Meltzer noted that the show’s 34-minute overrun hurt the show’s overall numbers, as the first two hours averaged 617,000 viewers and a 0.11 key demo rating.

AEW still has one more episode of Dynamite to go before All In London, which is scheduled for August 30 at Wembley Stadium.
