Dynamite was headlined by Hikaru Shida regaining the AEW Women’s Championship from Toni Storm and featured an Anything Goes Match, ROH Tag Title Match, and a lengthy in-ring segment involving MJF and Adam Cole to set up their title match at All In.
According to Wrestlenomics, the peak quarter for viewership was between 9-9:15 p.m. ET for the MJF and Adam Cole segment, the reaction from Roderick Strong backstage, and the start of Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks vs. Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh with 964,000 viewers and 441,000 in the demo. In the following quarter, those figures dropped 10% and 11% respectively for the conclusion of the six-man tag and the Mogul Embassy attack on Nick Wayne.
