Friday night’s AEW Dynamite drew 526,000 viewers on TNT, down from last week’s 821,000 viewers.
That’s the lowest viewer number Dynamite has ever done, though it didn’t air in its normal time slot. The show was moved to Friday night at 10 PM ET due to the NBA playoffs in its usual Wednesday time slot on TNT.
In the 18-49 demographic, it drew a 0.20 rating, down from last week’s 0.28.
Tuesday’s NXT drew 698,000 viewers on USA with a 0.13 18-49 rating.
This time last year on May 27, 2020, AEW drew 827,000 viewers and NXT drew 731,000.
