The promotion's flagship show broke the million barrier in average viewership and improved upon its key 18-49 demo rating. AEW Dynamite this week featured the much-awaited Undisputed World Championship match between CM Punk and Jon Moxley. Moxley shocked the world when he decimated the Cult of Personality to unify the lineal belt with his interim title, becoming the first-ever two-time AEW World Champion. Punk had not long returned from his foot injury, which turned out to be the focus of their clash as the Purveyor of Violence zeroed in on the damaged appendage before putting the short title match to bed with two Death Riders. However quick the match may have been, it certainly helped the show break barriers. Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports that this week's Dynamite clocked an average 1,049,000 viewers and a 0.34 rating in the key 18-49 demo. Last week's Dynamite saw 957k average viewers and a 0.30 rating.

What did fans make of the AEW Dynamite ratings this week Each and every week the ratings provoke conversation, mostly geared towards the perpetual rivalry between All Elite Wrestling and WWE. While some fans like to take the upward trend as a positive, there are always others who posit negative feedback towards the numbers. As will be seen in the handful of tweets below. A prime example, in fact, can be found early on as the user below pointed out that WWE RAW drew higher numbers: the villain@vogarycozen@BrandonThurston raw did more21@BrandonThurston raw did more The user below posited their own theory regarding the viewer spike, placing credit on the potential return of estranged star MJF: Gava@crgava@BrandonThurston Everyone thoughy MJF would come back yesterday! Thats my theory!12@BrandonThurston Everyone thoughy MJF would come back yesterday! Thats my theory! There were others who were quick to point out a sense of hypocrisy among the naysayers, as Dynamite recorded a great total this week and it still wasn't enough to satiate some expectations: Armadillo@Big_Armadillo_@BrandonThurston *AEW does under a million* omg they can’t get a million viewers *AEW does over a million* omg they can’t beat RawThen. Now. Forever411@BrandonThurston *AEW does under a million* omg they can’t get a million viewers *AEW does over a million* omg they can’t beat RawThen. Now. Forever Blue_Fox98@AcpwFox98@BrandonThurston Chaos and drama = ratings?9@BrandonThurston Chaos and drama = ratings? The user above felt as though the rumored unrest and drama within the All Elite locker room may have boosted the ratings. Looking below, it was also suggested that main-eventer Will Ospreay helped to boost the ratings this week: Ridwan @rid_aman@BrandonThurston Will Ospreay is a draw@BrandonThurston Will Ospreay is a draw nazerith spates@spates_nazerith@BrandonThurston Again this isn't going to Last until Tony Khan actually consistently books dynamite and rampage better@BrandonThurston Again this isn't going to Last until Tony Khan actually consistently books dynamite and rampage better There were also those like the above who called for Tony Khan to better book the Dynamite and Rampage shows in order to maintain decent ratings.
