Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show produced 947,000 viewers for Wednesday’s episode on TNT, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count was down from the 967,000 viewers who watched the previous episode.
Powell’s POV: Last week’s show ran opposite a taped NXT episode, so the fact that this week’s episode didn’t lose many viewers is encouraging. AEW won this week’s battle over NXT, which delivered 721,000 viewers. AEW finished sixth in the 18-49 demographic, while NXT finished 55th in the same category.
Credit to AEW. Two consecutive weeks at 900K to start off the new year.
Now, next week will be interesting because last night’s show was very bad and the Moxley Inner Circle storyline, AEW needs to hire writers. Real writers. ASAP.
NXT barely effected AEW that’s a really good sign. I’m surprised NXT hasn’t bought in some main roster talent to hype the rumble, The Kabuki Warriors still hold the biggest ratings gain so far HHH is missing a trick there.
