AEW Dynamite Draws Lowest Viewership In Almost A Year

AEW

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.

This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite was main evented by IMPACT Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo who lost her ROH Women’s Championship to Interim Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Mercedes Martinez to unify the title.

Elsewhere on the show, another former WWE star now in IMPACT, W.Morrissey (formerly known as Big Cass) made his All Elite Wrestling debut in a match against Wardlow.

AEW Dynamite last night on TBS:
833,000 viewers

Lowest total viewership in normal time slot since May 19, 2021. P18-49 down only slightly from last week but still lowest since February 16.
