Viewership numbers are in for the “Road To AEW Dynamite ” preview special.
The show aired on October 1 on TNT and drew 631,000 viewers, according to Showbuzz Daily. The one-hour special ranked #26 on the Cable Top 150 18-49 demographic, and #36 for the night in viewership.
This is another good number for AEW (All Elite Wrestling). This was AEW’s latest piece of programming on TNT, which aired for one-hour.
The special previewed all of the top matches that were set to take place on the premiere episode of AEW Dynamite that airs on Wednesday from the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.
For comparison, the AEW “Countdown to All Out” preview special drew 390,000 viewers and ranked #29 in the Cable Top 150 18-49 demographic last in August.
The Dynamite premiere viewership, which will be released on Thursday, should be interesting to see as they will go head-to-head with NXT on the USA Network.
