Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 833,000 viewers for TBS, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count was down from the 1.028 million viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished third in the 18-49 demo in Wednesday’s cable ratings with a 0.27 rating, down from last week’s 0.35 rating in the same demo. Monday’s WWE Raw finished with a 0.51 rating on USA Network. The March 2, 2022 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 966,000 viewers and a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the AEW Revolution go-home show.
About twice as many as that episode deserved.
So to me ratings always tell you more about the show the week before
Tony had a “big announcement” (a reality show. Ugh) so people tuned in. Last weeks show was poor and so the extra people who tuned in didn’t come back this week
It doesn’t help that the reality show apparently will feature some of the people who lead to the biggest ratings drops during the wrestling shows.
Kind of blows the illusion of Kingston “quitting” AEW when he’s on the AEW reality show and Cocaine Tony has publicly stated that it’s an angle.
