• AEW Dynamite Beats WWE RAW In The 18-49 Demo Ratings Again, TNT Brags

AEW Dynamite managed to beat WWE RAW in the 18-49 demo ratings by a very small margin for the second week in a row.

This week’s episode of RAW, which was built around Big E winning the WWE Championship, drew 1.67 million viewers with a 0.43 rating in the 18-49 demo (which means that 556,000 viewers were in the 18-49 age group).

This is down from last week’s 1.85 million viewers with a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demo (which means that 670,000 viewers were in the 18-49 age group).

The drop in viewership was due to heavy competition from Week 1 of Monday Night Football.

ESPN – 7.6 million viewers

ABC – 6.5 million viewers

ESPN 2 – 800,000 viewers

On the other hand, this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite drew 1.18 million viewers with a 0.44 rating in the 18-49 demo (which means that 574,000 viewers were in the 18-49 age group).

This is down from last week’s 1.32 million viewers with a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demo (which means that 681,000 viewers viewers were in the 18-49 age group).

TNT, as usual, went on to brag about AEW’s ratings success with the following press release:
