On the AEW side, there were questions going into the weekend after “Dynamite” did its worst key demo rating in three years for the post-Forbidden Door show. Whatever caused the “Dynamite” dip, it didn’t translate to “Rampage,” as the latter show, according to Wrestlenomics, averaged 450,000 viewers overall across its 60 minutes (up 15 percent week over week), approximately 171,000 of which were adults aged 18 to 49 (up 18 percent from the week prior). Both figures were the highest since April, and the latter translates to a 0.13 rating in the key demo.
In the Wrestlenomics comparisons to the medians of the prior four weeks, the news was mostly good for AEW. The biggest percentage gain came in men aged 35 to 49, with a 44 percent jump, followed by women aged 18 to 34 with a 31 percent increase. The only decrease came in women aged 35 to 49 at a seven percent drop from the median, which falls within the margin of error. According to quarter-hour ratings reported on the Wrestlenomics Patreon page, the first quarter, with Claudio Castagnoli’s successful Ring of Honor World Championship defense against Komander, was the strongest, as the show dropped off significantly in the second quarter, though the third quarter, where The Acclaimed appeared, did gain back a small percentage of viewers.
Due to the demise of ShowbuzzDaily, no ranking information is available to determine how “SmackDown” and “Rampage” performed relative to Friday’s other cable originals.
