Viewership ratings are in for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The figures drawn by the show experienced a dip compared to last Wednesday, which may come as a blow to the Tony Khan-led promotion as it sets the stage for Blood and Guts 2026.
This past Wednesday All Elite Wrestling rolled into St. Louis, Missouri, to host the 2026 edition of Fright Night Dynamite. The episode continued to lay the foundation for the Jacksonville-based company’s upcoming pay-per-view, Full Gear 2026, as well as for its television special next week, Dynamite: Blood and Guts. Many of the promotion’s most prominent names were featured on the October 28 show, which presented multiple important matchups and big-time angles.
Now, Wrestlenomics has reported the viewership ratings for this week’s Fright Night Dynamite. The episode drew an average viewership of 620,000, which saw a slight dip compared to the numbers from a week ago (661,000). The show moreover scored an 18-49 key demo rating of 0.14, which also went down from the number drawn by the October 21 edition (0.15). This fall in ratings might be attributed to the episode going against Game 5 of the World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers.
As usual, the aforementioned figures do not include numbers from HBO MAX, where both Dynamite and Collision are simulcasted every week.
