The Thanksgiving Eve edition of AEW Dynamite saw a small drop in its 18-49 audience while its overall audience grew from the week prior.

The November 22 episode from Chicago averaged 845,000 viewers and 337,000 (0.26) in the 18-49 demographic, per Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.

Ratings results were delayed due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

The audience grew by 3% from the previous week’s episode and was Dynamite’s largest audience since October 17. Conversely, the 18-49 audience dropped by 8% and hit its lowest mark since October 24.

In the 18-49 demo, female viewership dropped from 126,000 to 103,000 and men were down from 241,000 to 234,000.

Adults 18-34 averaged 114,000 or a 9% drop from the previous week’s number.

Adults 35-49 fell by 8% to 223,000. Across the major demos, it was female viewers that saw a greater decline than males.

In Canada, the show averaged approximately 68,000 viewers and 30,000 in the 25-54 demographic and didn’t rank among the top ten sports programs on Wednesday. The numbers declined from the previous week’s viewership of 102,200 and 48,000 in the demo.
