Wednesday’s Dynamite drew the best audience since the Second Anniversary episode on October 6, and the second-best key demo rating since September 29. This is obviously not a fair comparison for this week with RAW going up against a strong NFL playoff game, but AEW can say that they had the #1 wrestling show on cable this week in the 18-49 key demographic by doing a 0.44 rating compared to the 0.43 scored by RAW. Wednesday’s Dynamite viewership was up 6.5% from last week, while the 18-49 key demo rating was up 12.82% from last week. This week’s Dynamite viewership was up 20.8% from the same week in 2021.
