Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show produced 898,000 viewers for TNT, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count was down from the 984,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite delivered a 0.31 rating and finished sixth in the 18-49 demographic in the cable ratings, down from the previous week’s 0.37 in the same demo. The November 22 WWE Raw finished with a 0.49 rating in the key demo. Last year’s AEW Dynamite on Thanksgiving eve delivered 638,000 viewers, and the 2019 Thanksgiving eve edition finished with 663,000 viewers. Both of those episodes were rare losses for Dynamite to NXT while both shows were running on Wednesday nights.
The ratings were delayed due to Thanksgiving. Thursday’s numbers should be out on Tuesday morning, and Friday’s numbers should be out by Tuesday afternoon. Tonight’s Raw ratings are expected to be released on Wednesday morning.
Update: I mistakenly listed Dynamite as finishing third in the demo, but the show actually finished sixth. I have changed the listing above to avoid further confusion.
The steady decline back down to Rampage numbers continues.
Dynamite was 6th in the 18-49 demo, not 3rd, and finished 31st in overall viewership on cable last Wednesday.
Fixed. Thank you.
There’s some real hiccups happening with the ShowBuzzDaily site right now, but it appears to be on the Nielsen side of things.
