Following the Full Gear event, “AEW Dynamite” experienced a modest rise in total viewers but saw no change in its key demographic ratings. Programming Insider reports that the November 26 episode’s audience grew from 491,000 to 512,000 viewers, a 4% increase, matching the show’s average numbers for the following four weeks as per Wrestlenomics. The key 18-49 age group rating remained steady at 0.10. The show, broadcast from Nashville’s Pinnacle, ranked sixth among cable TV programs that night.
Since October 22, viewership has mostly stayed below 500,000, except for the November 12 episode, which attracted 600,000 viewers. Only two episodes since October 1, including November 12 and October 14, have broken the 500,000 viewer mark.
The November 26 Thanksgiving Eve broadcast featured a Continental Classic match and a semi-final contest for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship. Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale won their semi-final bout and will compete in the finals against either Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa or Marina Shafir and Megan Bain.
Fan Take: The slight boost in viewership shows AEW Dynamite’s resilience post-major events like Full Gear, but stagnant key demographic numbers highlight an area for growth. For fans, these ratings could be a sign that fresh storylines and stronger promotional efforts are crucial to maintaining and expanding AEW’s audience in the competitive wrestling landscape.
