AEW Rampage Sees Rise In Viewership, Particularly In Key Demo

"AEW Rampage" this past Friday night, which saw Chris Jericho officially challenge Adam Cole to an unsanctioned match at Double or Nothing, experienced a slight increase in viewership from the May 13 edition. Per Wrestlenomics, Friday's episode saw a slight uptick in total viewers, from 293,000 to 284,000, as well as its P18-49 rating, 0.09 to last week's 0.07. In terms of overall viewership, "Rampage" was up three percent from last week. But when looking at the all-important P18-49 demographic, it was up 28 percent.

Friday night's "Rampage" also ranked 24th in terms of cable originals while last Saturday's episode only ranked 46th. When taking the rest of primetime broadcast television into account, per ShowbuzzDaily, it ranked 38th on Friday.

Aside from the Jericho and Cole matchup becoming official, "Rampage" also saw the Blackpool Combat Club picking up a victory over Best Friends and Bandido; Jade Cargill successfully defend her TBS Championship yet again, this time in 36 seconds against Danni Bee; and The Acclaimed alongside "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn defeat the Varsity Athletes.

With Double or Nothing right around the corner on Sunday, "Dynamite" and "Rampage" will be pulling double duty on Wednesday night. Tony Khan will be hoping to see yet another uptick for the go-home shows, and he's bringing the star power for the lead-in. Currently slated for "Dynamite" is AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy defending his title against New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Kyle Fletcher. And with their trios matchup set for Sunday, we'll see if The Hardys and Brother Zay have a response to a brutal beatdown at the hands of Ethan Page and The Gunns.
