Fans often focus on AEW’s weekly ratings when Dynamite viewership numbers are released, but according to Andrew Zarian of Beyond The Bell, Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) is not concerned with the internet chatter.
Zarian shared that WBD executives, who are in key positions, aren’t impacted by the online discussions about the ratings. He said,
“I’ve been hearing very positive stuff from WBD. I brought up the ratings and the internet chatter to them and they don’t care. It doesn’t even resonate. The messaging on the internet is not even resonating with these people and they’re in key positions there.”
This comes after AEW and WBD announced a multi-year rights deal in October 2024, ensuring AEW programming remains on WBD networks and platforms for the foreseeable future.
AEW has aired on TNT or TBS since October 2019, with Dynamite’s debut.
The Minecraft Movie is sponsoring the match between Kyle Fletcher and Brody King on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
