Last Wednesday’s live AEW Dynamite inside the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured
AAA World and ROH World Tag Team Champions FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) facing each other in an Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament Qualifying Match with CM Punk on commentary, Lance Archer going up against Wardlow in a Singles Match, The Jericho Appreciation Society having a sit-down with Ortiz, Santana and Eddie Kingston, Hikaru Shida facing Serena Deeb in a Philly Street Fight, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson of The Undisputed Elite facing Brian Pillman Jr., Griff Garrison, Dante Martin, Brock Anderson and Lee Johnson in a big 10-Man Tag Team Match and Sammy Guevara defending the AEW TNT Title against Scorpio Sky in a Ladder Match, which was the main event.
The viewership number of this past Wednesday night’s episode of Dynamite, which drew the lowest total audience and the lowest key demo rating since the February 16 Dynamite episode as well as the second-lowest viewership and the second-lowest key demo rating of the year so far, was up 3.6% from the same week in 2021, while the key 18-49 demo rating was even from the same week in 2021. The episode of AEW Dynamite in 2021 had major competition from President Biden’s address to Congress.

NXT moved to Tue on Apr 13, 2021. So the year-over-year comp for April is against a partial post-WNW era. For all Apr comps, it's notable NBA playoffs started in late May last year.

Quarter-hours show Dynamite struggled to maintain the audience over the two hours more than usual, especially in the demo. QH1-to-QH8 and QH2-to-QH8 declines were among the steepest since moving to TBS on January 5.
