AEW Dynamite’s viewership on May 1st showed a positive trend, as reported by Wrestlenomics, drawing 703,000 viewers, a slight increase from the 683,000 viewers the previous Wednesday.

The wrestling show placed sixth on cable for the night, contending with heavy sports competition, including NBA playoff games like the Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics, as well as NHL playoff games such as Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers. Despite this stiff competition, Dynamite held its ground and demonstrated its continuing appeal to its audience.

Highlighting the episode were several key moments that likely contributed to the boost in viewership. Kenny Omega made a highly anticipated return, addressing the Elite, which became the most viewed segment on AEW’s YouTube channel with nearly half a million views. Other popular segments included challenges and matches setting up future events, like the impending AEW World Championship bout at Double or Nothing and Adam Copeland defending the TNT Championship against Buddy Matthews.

These top moments captivated live viewers and performed well online, indicating robust fan engagement across platforms. As AEW continues to build its storylines and star power, episodes like this one on May 1st underscore the promotion’s capability to draw and maintain an audience even amidst a crowded sports broadcast schedule.
