Fans on social media have had their say on the latest set of TV ratings for the most recent edition of AEW Dynamite, with some fans claiming that the company desperately needs CM Punk to return.The March 29, 2023, edition of AEW Dynamite drew a total of 833,000 viewers, ending up with a 0.28 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. The 0.28 number meant that the show finished as the fourth most-watched original show on cable TV for that evening.Compared to the March 22 edition of the show, which was headlined by the dream match between Kenny Omega and El Hijo del Vikingo, the March 29 edition of AEW Dynamite saw a drop in viewership by 121,000, making it the joint-second lowest rating the show has seen in 2023 so far.Wrestlenomics@wrestlenomicsAEW Dynamite last night on TBS (8-10pm):833,000 viewersP18-49 rating: 0.28#4 cable original in P18-49 patreon.com/wrestlenomics36156AEW Dynamite last night on TBS (8-10pm):833,000 viewersP18-49 rating: 0.28#4 cable original in P18-49📊 patreon.com/wrestlenomics https://t.co/sh6h8O8bJOThese numbers have caused a number of people on social media to have their say, with some poking fun at the fact that AEW is struggling to break the one million viewer mark, while others are suggesting that CM Punk may be the answer to their problems.E.
