The 8/16 edition of AEW Dynamite brought in overnight viewers, 874,000, up from last week's 846,000 overnight viewers according to Wrestlenomics.com. They had the number one show on cable last night.
In the 18-49 demo, AEW scored a 0.32, up from last week's 0.29.
The number could have been even better if not for the massive viewer loss in hour two.
The show started out with 946,000 viewers in the first quarter and didn't go below 900,000 until the 9:00 quarter, which did 898,000 viewers. From there, the tune out was substantial as they dropped to 822,000 (down 13% from the open) for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre at 9:15. By the time we got to the main event, where The Gunns took on The Young Bucks, the audience had dropped to 738,000 viewers, which was down 208,000 (22%) from the opening quarter hour. If the second hour could have held up even slightly, they would have easily been over 900,000 viewers.
