AEW viewership for the past week saw Dynamite score a two-week high in the demo, and Collision saw an uptick airing on Thursday.

The July 30 edition of Dynamite averaged 612,000 viewers and 200,000 viewers (0.15) in the 18-49 demographic on TBS (not including streaming viewership on Max).

It was a three-week high for Dynamite’s viewership and a two-week high in the 18-49 demographic.

Dynamite increased by one percent in overall viewership and six percent in the 18-49 demographic, due to the increase among females.

Women in the key demographic averaged 87,000 viewers and improved by 47 percent from last week’s program, its highest mark since Grand Slam Mexico on June 18.

Males in the 18-49 demographic decreased by 17 percent and averaged 112,000 viewers, which is an extremely low number for AEW among men in the demo and its lowest mark of the year.

Adults 18-34 increased by three percent, and the 35-49 demo was up by four percent.

Dynamite ranked #7 among prime time cable programs behind the New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx (0.18) on ESPN, Jesse Watters (0.17) on Fox News, Hannity (0.17) on Fox News, SportsCenter (0.15) on ESPN, and a replay of Family Guy (0.15) on Adult Swim.
