AEW Dynamite averaged 495,000 viewers on TBS in its Oct. 6 Tuesday broadcast, according to figures confirmed by Wrestlenomics. The report identifies the episode as a displaced airing.

That was down 45% from the Sept. 30 episode's 899,000 viewers and 30% below the trailing four-week average of 708,000. The Sept. 30 show aired on Wednesday and ran for 149 minutes; the Oct. 6 broadcast lasted 125 minutes.

Dynamite's adults 18–49 rating was 0.11, compared with 0.22 for the previous episode and a trailing four-week average of 0.14. Total viewers and demographic ratings describe different measures of the television audience.

The latest episode aired on the same night as WWE NXT, which averaged 532,000 viewers on The CW with a 0.10 adults 18–49 rating.

The change in day and broadcast length limits a direct week-to-week comparison. The numbers establish the size of the reported TBS audience; they do not establish how much of the decline was caused by the scheduling change.
