AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night drew 759,000 viewers on TNT according to Nielsen. NXT on the USA Network drew 580,000 on a night when Game 7 of the World Series drew over 23 million viewers on Fox.
It was the lowest rating for both wrestling telecasts. Notably, the ratings for the Game 7 World Series between the Nationals and Astros was the lowest rated Game 7 in sometime although it was a boost for Fox ratings. The World Series drew 23M viewers on Wednesday night. Yet, its still the biggest audience for baseball in two years.

Payout Perspective:
The decline in ratings last night was expected considering the enormity of Game 7 in baseball. Still, both telecasts have not posted an uptick in ratings over the previous week which should be a concern for both. AEW is still holding strong with its ratings and we should see one or both of the shows rebounding in the ratings.
