In a positive turn for AEW, the latest episode of AEW Dynamite has shown a notable increase in viewership and ratings following the company’s recent All Out pay-per-view event.
According to reports from Dave Meltzer, who wrote on his X account, the September 11th edition of AEW Dynamite attracted 716,000 viewers, marking a significant improvement from the previous week’s figure of 660,000.
This uptick in viewership represents an 8.5% increase week-over-week, suggesting that the buzz generated by the All Out event has successfully translated into heightened interest for AEW’s flagship weekly show. The boost in viewership is particularly encouraging for AEW, as it indicates the company’s ability to capitalise on the momentum created by its major events.
In addition to the raw viewership numbers, Dynamite also saw an improvement in its key demographic rating. The show scored a 0.21 rating in the crucial 18-49 age group, up from the 0.19 rating achieved the previous week.
The strong performance of AEW Dynamite was further underscored by its ranking on cable for the night. Despite facing stiff competition, the wrestling show managed to secure the second spot in cable rankings, trailing only behind the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
