Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 819,000 viewers for TBS, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. The viewership count was up from the 752,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.30 rating in 18-49 demo, up from last week’s 0.23 rating in the same demo. Dynamite saw a significant increase in the demo to go along with a good viewership increase. The Punk and Perry footage seems to have brought some viewers in, but only time will tell whether the stunt was good for more than single night increases. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 647,000 viewers and a 0.19 rating on USA Network. One year ago, the April 12, 2023 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 866,000 viewers and a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
AEW sold their soul for 819,000. Ouch And the worst part is they got extra viewers to actually watch that trainwreck. Next week’s numbers will be fascinating.
Mr. Patera, I just want to say your matches with Bob Backlund in the early 80s were fabulous. Thank you, sir
Thank you Ryan. I am still pretty sore at Heenan for not visiting me in jail tho!!
It feels like there’s a real chance it’s under 700k next week.
Q1: 981k
Q2: 857k
Q3: 880k (Punk)
Q4: 822k
Q5: 767k
Q6: 765k
Q7: 759k
Q8: 723k
Take out Q1 because of the Sheldon bump, and it’s a 796K show.
Without Sheldon and Punk it’s 782k.
Hope it was worth it, Tony.
Hahahahaha
