Both the demo and viewership numbers were up from the previous week. Tony Khan took out all the stops for this week after a couple of disappointing showings in the ratings where AEW was out of the Top 10. Having Kenny Omega on the show helps along with the Icon Sting. The Elite storyline is awesome and something fans want to see along with a dream match.

While the numbers were good seeing AEW back over 900,000 is good for them, especially with what WWE is doing on the road to Wrestlemania. That is where they need to be. Tracking year to year, AEW is back in range as Dynamite was holding steady in the 900k range.

This week AEW Dynamite was 4th on cable according to Showbuzzdaily.com. They were behind two NBA games on ESPN per usual.
