Wednesday night’s edition of AEW Dynamite featured a tribute throughout the show to the late Jon Huber (Brodie Lee). According to a report by the Professional Wrestling Torch, the show drew 977,000 viewers in the evening, a large increase from what the show had attracted the previous week (775,000). The number was also significantly higher than the audience that WWE NXT attracted on the USA Network face to face (586,000). Due to the nature of the show, AEW was expected to win the audience battle at night in a dramatic way.
In the coveted 18- to 49-year-old group, AEW Dynamite scored 0.40, which was above the 0.32 that last week’s broadcast had. NXT made a rating of 0.12 in this demo.
