Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 804,000 viewers for TBS, according to Robert Seidman of Substack.com/@sportstvratings. The viewership count was down from the 838,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.27 rating in 18-49 demo, down from last week’s 0.28 rating in the same demo. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 794,000 viewers a 0.26 rating on USA Network. The November 9, 2022 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 930,000 viewers and a 0.32 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
Watching it, I figured it’d be an ep that you enjoyed. But I also figured it’d suffer in the ratings. Less dumb stuff, but a lot of it was boring to me. Every match’s outcome was 100% guaranteed.
Daniel Garcia wrestled for the top title in the company.
The Swerve and Adam “No Draw” Page nonsense got even more nonsensical.
The Ratings Killer Bucks and Kenny were featured in an absurdly long talking segment.
Red Velvet was on TV for nearly 10 minutes.
Paint Drying Jay White was in the main event.
There was no way this show was going to draw viewers with that dreck.
