Hard to know with NBA playoffs as they always hurt wrestling ratings but that's a big dip. I guess AEW's demo are more likely to be watching NBA but will be interesting to see numbers in a few weeks when they're over. Probably want to get that belt on Punk asap.

Surprised with the drop off after the MJF segment.
Jeez. A lot missed out on an amazing show. A bit concerning even with decent shows the ratings really don’t move much.
I wouldn’t stress about the American ratings too much. Both companies still maintain their spot as the top few original cable programs on their given day. Which tells us it’s more a television as a whole trend. SmackDown on network TV too, usually last in total viewers but first in the ‘coveted demo’.
There’s just so many ways to consume the product now. You could almost entirely watch the show just off peoples Twitter posts.
I’d suspect both companies will still see sizeable increases to their television deals in the future.

With streaming services its hard to gauge really but lets face it the hardcore wrestling fans that back in the day would jump from WWF and WCW at the time would watch both whether that be record one on video tape and watch later and with a lack of spoilers back then it was more fun. These days you don't even have to watch a show to work out what has happened you can read spoilers live, twitter reactions live which includes highlights of the match.
By now if there was going to be a massive spike it would have happened by now and if Punk winning the belt doesn't do it or Danielson , Cole at All Out nothing will. I am tipping the WWE fans that love wrestling and understand there are alternatives out there are already watching but the remaining WWE base which is made up of kids which given the blood baths on AEW programs they will never get so maybe its time we give up the AEW vs WWE " War" as its not even close to being a war. AEW will never get to the same level as WWE let alone go past it because in this day and age unless they pick up that kid viewership they won't grow any further as wrestling is not popular as it was back in the day so the middle aged bracket just magically won't jump on board to watch. You either grow up a wrestling fan as a kid or you don't. Pretty rare for someone 20-40 to just decide to watch wrestling all of a sudden.

Was against an NHL playoff game. If you're going to bump this with your usual AEW negativity at least get your facts straight. Rated ok. Not brilliant but not terrible. Demo .40 is getting back up to where they would want/need it.
AEW Dynamite ratings up for Double or Nothing fallout
Dynamite ranked second on cable behind an NHL playoff game.

NXT with a huge increase, fantastic to see after a rough few weeks.
Before Warrior and Nicho get too much of a hard on over AEW’s sub mil ratings
True. It’s over.

Hey I didn’t state an opinion, just posted the numbers.
Miz is a draw tho! Although after seeing Maryse on RAW, I can see why people tuned in
Back to #1 in the cable rankings and yet AEW is apparently in all sorts of trouble, okay...

Dynamite 761,000
Interesting American ratings for Friday:
SmackDown: 2,290,000
Rampage: 331,000
Ratings are not a be all guide obviously, but I think it clearly shows the Japan crossover stuff is not gaining any viewers, in fact it’s losing viewers interest, when you consider the huge drop for Dynamite last week. A shame, considering the hot MJF angle they had going only a few weeks prior. Of course, loss of some established name talent to injury plays a part, as both companies are currently dealing with.
Reigns appearing and wrestling looks to be a big draw too, as that seemed to do 2.5M live. He and Brocks video has 4.2M YT views in 72 hours from what I’ve seen as well.

Show delivered too. Frustratingly previously Dynamite often have a lacklustre show when the ratings are up.
