More viewers between the ages of 18 and 49 years old watched AEW Dynamite than WWE RAW this week. This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite was watched by an average of 1,319,000 total viewers and 681,000 in the 18-49 demo (0.53 rating). WWE RAW this week averaged 1,845,000 viewers and did a 0.52 in the key demographic.
There are notable variables, however. RAW this week took place on Labor Day and was up against college football. Dynamite, on the other hand, was coming off of the most talked-about and buzzworthy PPV in the promotion’s history.
This was the second most-watched episode of AEW Dynamite in history, falling only behind the premiere episode in the fall of 2019. That first episode brought in 1,409,000 viewers on average and scored a 0.68 in the key demographic.
Earlier this month, WWE RAW scored its best record for the summer with the post- Summerslam edition on August 23rd. That show averaged a total of 2,067,000 and brought in a 0.64 in the key demographic.
The episode of Dynamite on August 25th also did good numbers for AEW. Until this week, that show had been the second highest-rated in company history in terms of the key demo. It brought in an average of 1,172,000 and did a 0.48 in the 18-49 demo. This was the show that came after CM Punk’s debut on the August 20th edition of Rampage.
