Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 680,000 viewers for TBS, according to Wade Keller of PWTorch.com. The viewership count was down from the 702,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.20 rating in 18-49 demo, down from last week’s 0.23 rating in the same demo. AEW ran opposite the MLB playoffs, but the numbers are still disappointing given that it was the anniversary show with two major matches. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 895,000 viewers and a 0.26 rating for its debut on The CW network, which also ran against the MLB playoffs and an hour of the U.S. Vice Presidential debate. One year ago, the October 4, 2023 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 800,000 viewers and a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the WrestleDream fallout edition.
There was nothing worth watching. They started with shitty gymnastics and finished with a match between two completely washed up has beens.
That’s what $170 million a year is worth. Makes me think I should ask for a raise at work.
Lost to NXT by over 200k. No wonder WBD is in the shape they’re in now. Can’t wait to hear the excuses when this is a weekly occurrence from here on out and when they go head to head this coming Tuesday
