AEW Dynamite Ratings & Viewership Report: 9/30/2026

The September 30 episode of "AEW Dynamite" will forever be remembered as the night the wrestling world came together to remember Benjamin Satterley, who fans knew as Pac in AEW and Adrian Neville in WWE. Despite fighting through floods of tears, everyone in AEW went the extra mile to honor Pac with a show worthy of his legacy, with Bryan Danielson coming out of retirement to bury the hatchet with the Death Riders, The Elite reuniting for the first time since 2023, and Will Ospreay doing the one thing no one thought was physically possible, hitting the Black Arrow in his match with Ricochet.

Fans across the United States came out in force to see how AEW would honor Pac's legacy, with Wrestlenomics confirming that the September 30 episode of "Dynamite" averaged a total of 899,000 viewers. This is not only a 24% increase on the previous week's 723,000 viewers, but it is also the highest average viewership "Dynamite" has earned in nearly three years, with the last episode reaching this figure being the October 18, 2023 episode that averaged 901,000 viewers. This week's show was also 29% above the trailing four week average of 697,000 viewers, and like with every AEW show since the start of 2025, these figures do not include those who streamed the show live on HBO MAX.

With such a large increase in viewership, there was also a big increase in the 18-49 demographic as "Dynamite" posted a 0.22 number. This is 38% increase on last week's 0.16 number, a 57% increase on the trailing four week average of 0.14, and is the highest number "Dynamite" has posted in the demographic since the November 13, 2024 episode which also posted a 0.22 number. All of this led to "Dynamite" placing second for the night in the prime time cable rankings.
