The February 25 episode of “AEW Dynamite” took its toll on plenty of AEW performers as a consequence of the high altitude in Denver, Colorado, but that did not stop them from taking some major steps towards the Revolution pay-per-view on March 15. The Babes of Wrath retained their AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships against Megabad via disqualification. The Young Bucks, The Rascalz, and Jack Perry conquered FTR and The Demand in a wild Mile High Madness match, and it was confirmed that the AEW World Championship match at Revolution between MJF and Hangman Page can be a Texas Death Match.
AEW delivered a giant rating last week due to the fallout from Grand Slam Australia, but this week’s figures couldn’t reach those self same heights. Wrestlenomics and The Programming Insider have confirmed that the February 25 episode of “Dynamite” averaged a complete of 633,000 viewers, marking a 9% drop from the previous week and dipping 3% below the trailing 4 week average of 651,000 viewers. As usual, those numbers don’t include the individuals who streamed the show survive HBO MAX.
There was an even bigger drop in the important thing 18-49 demographic as this week’s “Dynamite” posted a 0.10 number, 17% lower than last week’s 0.12 number, which can be the trailing 4 week average. While not the bottom number within the demographic of the yr, it’s the bottom within the month of February with the closest being the 0.09 number that was posted on January 28. A 0.10 number was enough for “Dynamite” to rank joint tenth for the night within the prime time cable rankings, tying with the likes of the NHL on TNT, but removed from the 0.38 the NBA game on ESPN posted which topped the rankings. AEW can be trying to boost these numbers next week because the road to Revolution starts to wind down.
