AEW suffered its first defeat in the weekly Wednesday night war with NXT going against an NXT show which leaned heavily on Raw and Smackdown Superstars appearing throughout the broadcast.

Dynamite did a total of 893,000 viewers this week, down 64,000 viewers from last week’s show. The show was #8 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic, getting a 0.52. The difference between the two shows was of 23,000 viewers, a decrease of 184,000 viewers from last week’s 207,000 number.

Taking everything into consideration, this was a great number for AEW and the margin could have been bigger. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
