AEW drew 730,000 viewers way down from last week’s 827,000 viewers. They finished 4th overall last week. Dynamite was tapped this week taking place at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville Florida. This was a tough night because cable news dominated the landscape due to the protests going on in the US.

Based on the ratings, CNN dominated the night with 10 shows in the top 15. Fox News had 3 which is unusual as Fox News usually dominates the cable news. That left MTV’s Challenge: Total Madness and Bravo’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills as the only two non-news shows in the top 15.
