AEW Dynamite drew 459K viewers on Oct. 29, its lowest-ever Wednesday rating, due to major competition and a new Nielsen measurement system.

AEW Dynamite drew 459,000 viewers on October 29, a 3.8% drop from the prior week and the lowest Wednesday viewership in its history, according to Wrestlenomics. The show posted a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic, matching its lowest mark, and ranked seventh in prime time cable. It faced strong competition from Game 5 of the MLB World Series, which drew 14.6 million viewers, and an NBA game on ESPN that outperformed Dynamite in ratings. Viewership declined 26.9% compared to the same week in 2024, with the 18-49 rating down 57.9%, though HBO Max streaming numbers were not included. The decline follows Nielsen’s shift to a new measurement system that has reduced ratings across pro wrestling.
