Audio issues and perhaps competition from the NBA playoffs hammered AEW Dynamite’s ratings this week.
The broadcast only scored 683,000 viewers with a key demo rating of 0.23.
Last week, Dynamite brought in 762,000 viewers and a 0.26 in the key demos.
Tony Khan had this to say about the audio problems which plagued the show:
Thank you all watching #AEWDynamite now! We're having an exciting show, live worldwide now!
Our partner TBS is having some audio issues on tonight's show, thankfully we understand our other worldwide partners aren't affected, but TBS is working to fix the issue immediately!— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) April 25, 2024
NXT scored 661,000 viewers, 0.20 in the key demos this week.
Wednesday wasn’t a great night for AEW in general. Besides the audio problems a media report from AEW’s homebase of Jacksonville stated that the promotion sent out a call earlier in the day to bring in 50 seat fillers for Dynamite and Collision this weekend.
