Overall, AEW Dynamite drew 1.016 million viewers, ranking #7 for the night on the Cable Top 150 with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This is AEW Dynamite's best rating since 2019, and its best ever in 2020. It should be noted that AEW had no competition from NXT.

It'll be interesting if AEW can hold on to these numbers next week.
