AEW Dynamite Viewership and Key Demo Rating for Homecoming Special

Wednesday’s live Homecoming edition of AEW Dynamite reportedly drew 1.102 million viewers on TNT, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.

This is down 0.54% from last week’s Fight for the Fallen edition of Dynamite, which drew 1.108 viewers.

Dynamite drew a 0.46 rating in the key 18-49 demographic this week. This is up 2.22% from last week’s 0.54 rating.

The 0.46 key demographic rating represents around 593,000 viewers who watched the show from that 18-49 demo. This is up 1.89% from last week’s 582,000 18-49 viewers that the 0.45 key demo rating represented.

Homecoming marked the first time that AEW Dynamite has averaged more than 1 million viewers for four weeks in a row. The 0.46 key demo rating is tied with the October 9, 2019 episode for the second-best rating in the demo, behind the original premiere. Dynamite Homecoming viewership was down 0.54% from last week, while the 18-49 key demo rating was up 2.22% from last week.

Last night’s Dynamite Homecoming viewership was up 22.3% from the same week in 2020. The key demo was up 27.8% from the same week last year, which went head-to-head against WWE NXT in the Wednesday night timeslot.

AEW’s Homecoming special from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL featured several matches and segments advertised ahead of time – 2.0 (fka Ever-Rise) debuting with Daniel Garcia vs. Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin, Christian Cage vs. The Blade, Malakai Black vs. Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho vs. Juventud Guerrera, a NWA World Women’s Title Eliminator Match with The Bunny vs. Leyla Hirsch, and TNT Champion Miro defending against Lee Johnson.
