Last week, “AEW Dynamite” posted considered one of its lowest viewership figures of the yr, having drawn 565,000 viewers after recording totals above the 600,000 mark for several consecutive weeks. This past Wednesday’s edition of “Dynamite” did grow its audience following AEW Forbidden Door, but it surely was a marginal increase in comparison with many other shows that followed a number of the promotion’s largest events of the yr.
In line with “Wrestlenomics,” “Dynamite” averaged 585,000 viewers and posted a 0.13 in the important thing 18-49 demographic. When comparing each categories to the previous week, total viewership increased by 4%, however the demo would drop by an astonishing 19%, making it “Dynamite’s” lowest rating within the 18-49 since last March. Moreover, “Dynamite’s” numbers within the 18-49 demo have declined by 27% since August 2024, with this system’s total viewership also being down by 6% since this time last yr. Although the outcomes of AEW Forbidden Door didn’t seem to maneuver the needle for Wednesday’s show, “Dynamite” still managed to rank #4 on the night for cable in 18-49 demo.
Since “Dynamite” also became available on HBO Max, AEW has struggled to grow their viewership on cable, with many fans opting to observe this system on the streaming platform as a substitute. This has also led “Dynamite” to post lower numbers than “WWE NXT” on the CW, with the latter averaging nearly 60,000 more viewers than its competition throughout the summer. AEW will even be heading into its most difficult quarter of the yr, as cable will only develop into more competitive once the NHL and NBA season begins this coming October.
