AEW Rampage Draws Lowest Viewership In Show History
AEW Rampage doesn't attract a big audience on May 13
May 17, 2023
AEW Rampage was on the move once again last week, with the show airing on Saturday, May 13 at 10 pm ET instead of in its usual Friday night time slot, and the move hurt the show in the ratings.
The May 13 episode only averaged 284,000 viewers on TNT, which was enough to record the lowest viewership since the show debuted back in August 2021. Rampage drew a 0.07 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, which was tied for the lowest rating the show has ever done in the demo.
Compared to the same week in 2022, Rampage was down 41.7% in the 18-49 demo and down 16.5% in total viewership. Last year's show aired on a Friday at 5:30 pm ET. Rampage's ratings have gradually fallen since the show debuted two years ago as the series has progressively moved away from being must-watch TV.
The show has been preempted for the past several weeks due to coverage of the NHL and NBA playoffs and the preemptions are set to continue. This week's show will air on Friday, May 19 at 6:30 pm ET. The go-home edition of Rampage before Double or Nothing will air at midnight ET on Saturday, May 27.
