Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 805,000 viewers for TBS, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. The viewership count was down from the 818,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.28 rating in 18-49 demo, up from last week’s 0.26 rating in the same demo. The demo increase is good news, but the viewership dropping for a show that featured the latest Tony Khan big announcement tease, a pay-per-view caliber opening match, and Sting and Darby Allin winning the AEW Tag Team Titles in the main event is disappointing. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 650,000 viewers and a 0.19 rating on USA Network. One year ago, the February 8, 2023 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 899,000 viewers and a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
The “loaded” card was a bunch of bullshit that doesn’t appeal to anyone that isn’t already watching. Nothing will change until the coked up trust fund asshole puts a wrestling person in charge. This would be the perfect time to hire Scott D’Amore and give him full creative control.
I take this as a sign that the “huge announcement” nonsense doesn’t draw anymore.
Next week Khan will have a bigger announcement! Thanks guys!
