The ratings are in for Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. The show drew 840,000 viewers, down from the 870,000 viewers the show drew last week. In the 18-49 demographic, the show did a 0.29 rating, which is up from the 0.26 last week.
Last week was the lowest key demo rating since March 31, 2021 although it didn’t include the episodes that were moved to different timeslots. It was also the lowest key demo rating that Dynamite has done on an unopposed Wednesday night.
Dynamite ranked #3 in the top 150 shows on cable for the night, up from the #6 ranking last week. It should be noted that Spectrum cable had issues during the show with both video and audio, which impacted AEW’s ratings.
The AEW rating is likely way down because of the Spectrum cable issues. That's 30 million homes with problems. Both video and then audio throughout the show. NHL will also suffer greatly in ratings from last night.
