The ratings are in for AEW Dynamite. The show drew 969,000 viewers, down from the 1.010 million viewers the show previously drew last week. In the 18-49 demographic, the show did a 0.39 rating, which is down from the 0.43 last week. Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics reported the news.
Dynamite tied in the key demo with Monday’s WWE Raw, which did go up against heavy competition from the college football championship game, as Raw also did a 0.39 rating. Dynamite had 505,000 viewers in the demo while Raw had 507,000.
AEW did the same .39 as WWE did on Monday. WWE's was 507K and AEW's was 505K. WWE was against tougher competition. AEW was week two on a new station. That number was much better than that show would have done on TNT so looks like the move long-term is a strong positive.
