The AEW Dynamite replay that aired on TNT following the live show drew 423,000 viewers. That brings the combined viewership of the first episode to 1.832 million viewers and if you include the 109,000 viewers for the TSN 2 airing in Canada, the debut edition of AEW Dynamite drew 1.941 million viewers in North America.
Reddit user wcincedarrapids provided some more details regarding the AEW vs. NXT viewership:
AEW peaked in the first 35 minutes or so, then slowly declined before finishing strong(but not as strong in the first 35 minutes) in the last 25 minutes.
NXT was more steady throughout, slightly gaining as it went on.
The 8pm, 8:15pm, 8:45pm, 9:00pm, and 9:45pm quarter hours are where AEW had its biggest margins over NXT.
AEW's strongest quarter hours were its first 3, and NXT's strongest quarter hours were its last 3. This could be a cause for concern for AEW, as the strong start for the program could very well have been curious people checking it out and may not have any intention of being a return viewer. However, its weakest quarter hour (9:15-9:30) still beat NXT's strongest quarter hour(9:15-9:30).
AEW's weakest quarter hour at 9:15 was an 0.62, so one has to assume that will be the baseline going forward.
NXT moved ahead of AEW for a couple minutes from 9:38pm to 9:40pm - anyone know what happened there? I am guessing commercial break for AEW.
The user added that Nashville was NXT's strongest market and Detroit was AEW's strongest market.
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that NXT did well with Shayna Baszler vs. Candice LeRae with those under 35 but did poor with older viewers. Meltzer added that AEW had a 575,000 to 120,000 edge in teenagers and 444,000 to 145,000 edge with the 18-34 demographic.

Just watched the first hour of this. Wow. They are nailing EVERYTHING. The intro, the graphics, the production, the camera angles. The matches have been great, easy intro stories and ways for people to connect quickly with all the wrestlers. Just outstanding. Can't wait to watch the rest and then actually watch wrestling LIVE on a Wednesday night. Amazing times to be a fan!!

It makes sense if there is overlap between the baseball games.

Why couldn't baseball go to TruTV?
If TNT knows this will effect a new shows audience in week 2, why dick with that & just move MLB to TruTV if it overlaps?

I'd imagine it has to do with viewership and familiarity.
It's the smart thing to do.
AEW may have a little adversity to overcome tonight (though not as much as the Braves).

Yeah good point. Plus if it airs on TruTV and TNT it might increase the audience some overall.

9-0 Cardinals after the top of the 1st. Actually 10-0. Wild pitch on the strikeout led to another run.

Now tapping into that Impractical Jokers audience, that's what I'm talking about. (I actually love that show)

Dammit I knew it was one of those channels IMPACT used to be on.

Haha Jericho was right, they're the first casualties of the Wednesday Night Wars!

I mean, is TNT really going to preempt Dynamite for this mess?

Despite the MVP being in the line-up tonight (Giannis for you dullards out there) I will be watching Dynamite LIVE. That will change once the Regular Season rolls around for Wednesday night games.
GO BUCKS!!! (but only the NBA ones, I'm rooting for Private Party)

Any chance last weeks show is on YouTube now? My DVR messed up the second half of the show and I didn’t completely finish.

Tony just said Bucks v Private Party is a classic East v West rivalry. Conrad's had him reading too many rap lyrics.
