Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show produced 1.025 million viewers for TNT, according to Wade Keller of of PWTorch.com. The viewership count was up from the 871,000 viewership mark drawn last week.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite drew a .40 in the 18-49 demographic, up from the .33 drawn in the same demo last week. It was a great week for Dynamite. Perhaps the most impressive part is that the show aired opposite an NBA Finals game that delivered a series-high 7.4 million viewers for ABC in the overnight numbers. AEW is finished airing opposite the NBA Finals, which are scheduled to run on Saturday and Tuesday, and on Thursday if a game seven is necessary. Last year’s Fyter Fest Night One produced 748,000 viewers on July 1, Fyter Fest Night Two had 715,000 on July 8, and the July 15 Fight For The Fallen delivered 788,000 viewers. Each of those 2020 shows ran opposite NXT on USA Network.
AEW Dynamite tops 1 million live and same night viewers last night (1.025M). Tops Raw’s 18-49 male demo. Also 0.40 adult 18-49 demo. More at https://t.co/b30cDz6YY1 later. #AEWDynamite

Aew has been on an upswing as of late. Although the company has continued to have its nagging issues that holds them back, the storylines and certain wrestlers that should have been closers to the forefront earlier on are beginning to get a push.
