Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 638,000 viewers for TBS, according to Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com. The viewership count was down from the 684,000 viewership average of last week’s show. Dynamite finished with a 0.14 rating in the 18-49 demo, equal to last week’s 0.14 rating in the same demo.
Powell’s POV: The Max streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count listed above. Tony Khan’s tease of an important announcement did not lead to a ratings increase for the overall show. Tuesday’s NXT on The CW averaged 707,000 viewers and a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demo. One year ago, the September 25, 2024, edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 702,000 viewers and a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the Grand Slam edition.
NOPE
Correction came out and it was a hilariously small 554k.
Running this again to avoid any confusion…
I’ll keep an eye on things, but here’s what Brandon Thurston wrote on Wrestlenomics: The data here is unchanged from what we initially reported. I’m aware Programming Insider has reported lower numbers for both this episode of Dynamite and this past Tuesday’s NXT. PWTorch independently reported data for Dynamite that is consistent with the data for Dynamite that we’ve sourced separately here. I also have data for other cable programs on Wednesday that are broadly different from what Programming Insider reported for Wednesday. I’ve brought this to the attention of Douglas Pucci, who reports ratings for Programming Insider. He suggested it’s possible his sourcing at the moment is based on panel-only data (which refers to the changes Nielsen announced earlier this month) and that he would get weekly numbers later that might be updated.
