AEW Dynamite saw a decrease in viewership on April 24.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, 683,000 viewers watched the show on Wednesday night, drawing a 0.23 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic. The viewership is down from last week’s episode, when 762,000 viewers tuned in. The demo also dropped from last week‘s episode, which drew a 0.26 rating in the same demographic.
AEW did 683K/0.23 last night. West Coast live hurt 8% and obviously the sports competition is going to hurt everything. Cue ignorant "excuses" folk even though this was well known in advance.
