AEW Dynamite faced a tough night as its Title Tuesday edition, airing outside its usual day and time, drew its lowest viewership and ratings in its history. The episode averaged 329,000 viewers, a sharp 51.6 percent drop from the previous week, and registered a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down 50 percent from the prior episode.
The schedule change forced Dynamite to go head-to-head with WWE NXT for its first hour while also contending with the MLB playoffs and the start of the NHL season. Last year’s Title Tuesday Dynamite fared significantly better, with 609,000 viewers and a 0.26 rating. This year’s numbers show a dramatic decline, with Dynamite’s viewership just over one-third of NXT’s.
