Recent Broadcast Numbers Indicate a Dip, But Hope Remains
The wrestling world is abuzz as AEW Rampage’s recent viewership metrics indicate a slight downturn. The episode in question, aired on a competitive Friday slot, secured a 0.11 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic, drawing an audience of 348,000. This represents a slight dip from the preceding week, which boasted a similar 0.11 demo rating but had a more robust viewership of 416,000.
This recent trend has sparked discussions among fans and analysts alike. The last time Rampage faced such a challenge was on July 28th, when the show recorded a 0.10 rating with 324,000 viewers. A broader perspective reveals that, for 2023, Rampage’s average stands at a 0.120 demo rating with an audience of 398,000. This is a noticeable decline from 2022’s figures, which averaged a 0.168 demo rating and a viewership of 468,000.
While the numbers might seem concerning, it’s essential to remember the dynamic nature of the entertainment industry. Factors ranging from competing events to shifting viewer preferences can influence such metrics. AEW, known for its resilience and adaptability, is likely already strategizing its next moves to reclaim its audience and elevate its ratings.
