As previously reported, this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite hit its lowest rating in over a year, with viewership down as well. The show had 870,000 viewers and a 0.26 rating (344,000 viewers) in the key 18-49 demographic. It also had an 0.20 in 18-34. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has more details on the numbers for this week’s show, including a look at each individual quarter hour.

The last time Dynamite performed this low in the demo, in this time slot, was the March 31, 2021 episode, when it was still opposed by NXT.

Last week, the show had strong gains in men 35-49, but this week did poorly with that demo, and also didn’t do well with women 18-34. The show was believed to be #4 for the night on cable.

Compared to last week, Dynamite was down 1.1% in viewers, down 18.3% in 18-49 and down 13.9% in 18-34. Compared to last year, it was up 1% in viewers, down 15.3% in 18-49 and up 13.5% in 18-34.
