AEW Dynamite had a drop in viewers and the key 18-49 demographic rating, earning 936,000 viewers and a 0.31 rating (398,000 viewers), respectively. Due to a technical issue, not all of the numbers are available, but the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has a breakdown of the numbers for the show, including quarter-by-quarter.
The show also drew a 0.19 in 18-34, which was actually better than last week’s Blood and Guts show. Women 35-49 was down quite a bit, which is believed to be due to the blood in recent weeks. Viewers were down 14.1% while 18-49 was down 27.4% and 18-34 was up 2.3%. The show had 89,000 in men 18-34 (down 3.3%), 45,000 in women 18-34 (up 15.4%), 193,000 in men 35-49 (down 30.8%) and 71,000 in women 35-49 (down 48.6%). The audience was 70.9% male in 18-49.
