This week's AEW Dynamite ratings have been released and it seems like the show has hit a bit of a rough patch.
The show, which was held at the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, drew 824,000 viewers, down from the 899,000 viewers the show drew last week. In the 18-49 demographic, the show did a 0.27 rating, which is down from 0.30 last week. This is the lowest total viewership since the November 16 show, which drew 818,000 viewers. Furthermore, this is the third straight week for a drop in ratings.
The episode featured six matches, including a Texas Tornado Tag match. It involved Blackpool Combat Club's Jon Moxley, Claudio vs. RUSH, Preston Vance, Mark Briscoe vs. Josh Woods, Hangman Page vs. Kip Sabian, Brian Cage vs. Jungle Boy. The Acclaimed, Daddy Ass, & Orange Cassidy vs. Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett, & Satnam Singh
