Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 800,000 viewers for TBS, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. The viewership count was down a tick from the 801,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.27 rating in 18-49 demo, equal to last week’s 0.27 rating in the same demo. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 569,000 viewers and a 0.18 rating on USA Network. One year ago, the March 22, 2023 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 954,000 viewers and a 0.33 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
Why are you adding the NXT numbers and not the Raw and Smackdown?
Because the AEW flagship show is on par with WWE developmental, and barely so at that.
I used the Raw numbers when it was a tighter race in the key demo. I switched back to NXT once Raw pulled away and NXT pulled closer to Dynamite in the demo.
Thank God for the Big Bang Theory artificially inflating Dynamite’s first quarter hour or their average would be in the 700’s. Sheldon Cooper should be the first inductee for the AEW hall of fame
