That figure is down modestly from the 516,000 viewers the show attracted the previous week.

AEW followed Dynamite with AEW Collision as part of a special three-hour block. Collision averaged 333,000 viewers and delivered a 0.05 rating in the 18–49 demo.

Combined, the three-hour Dynamite/Collision block averaged 422,000 viewers and a 0.06 demo rating. While the overall viewership average increased compared to the previous three-hour block on November 19, the combined demo number declined.
