AEW Dynamite Numbers Are Up Even With Strong Competition

It is Thursday and you know what that means… ratings for AEW Dynamite are out. AEW is on the road to Double or Nothing and Tony Khan brought out the stops with a PPV calibre card featuring a cage match between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. Let’s see how this show did as there was a lot of competition from the sports world.

AEW Dynamite Viewership Numbers Up

AEW Dynamite looks to continue to maintain its audience during the most exciting time for sports fans with the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs on. As mentioned before it was a loaded card for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite with a major announcement coming. Time to dive into the numbers.

The May 10th edition of AEW Dynamite week’s show was viewed by 877,000 people and did a .32 in the 18-49 demo.

The viewership was up from the previous week with the demo holding strong. This week the demo rose to .32. The demo has remained consistent in the .28 to .30 range but the issue is the viewership number. This was the best demo number since March 22nd.

Dynamite’s highest P18-49 since Mar 22 and highest total viewership since Apr 5, despite competition from NBA playoffs, the Donald Trump town hall on CNN, NHL playoffs, and Vanderpump Rules, all of which outranked Dynamite in P18-49.

Again we look at year-to-year comparables and we know why these numbers have dipped some. AEW Dynamite is doing well on Wednesday night since it moved to TBS. This is why they are getting a new TV deal.

AEW Dynamite was 9th on cable according to Showbuzzdaily.com. This was down one spot but there was a lot of competition from the Donald Trump interview to the NBA Playoffs and Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hopefully, AEW can get their audience back when things cool down as Double or Nothing is right around the corner.
