A dip in ratings for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, headlined by the ROH Women’s Championship unification match.
Last night’s episode (May 4) of AEW Dynamite drew the lowest viewership figure in its regular time slot in almost a year, garnering the attention of 833,000 viewers.
Of those viewers, 421,000 were from the all-important (for advertising purposes) demographic of people 18 to 49 years old.
According to Showbuzz Daily, AEW Dynamite ranked number four in cable programming on the night, behind the NBA playoffs and a post-game edition of ‘Inside the NBA Playoffs’ on a night that also included competition for sports fans’ attention from the NHL divisional playoffs.
As we previously reported, recently an NBCU exec shared on Eric Bishoff’s podcast that he felt All Elite Wrestling’s stable and consistent viewership, typically hovering around the 1 million viewers mark, would make an attractive streaming partner to a platform such as HBOMax.
