AEW Dynamite ratings for All Out fallout episode revealed
Ratings for the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, which followed All Out 2024, have been revealed. The show aired from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
The Tony Khan-led promotion went to Chicago, Illinois, for this year's edition of All Out on September 7. Alongside presenting top-tier in-ring contests, the pay-per-view also featured matches and segments that were uncomfortably violent, receiving polarizing reactions from fans and industry experts alike.
The September 11, 2024, edition of Dynamite aired from Lexington, Kentucky, and continued the promotion's build toward its next major event, AEW Grand Slam 2024. The Wednesday night show featured several top stars like Jon Moxley and his new alliance, Darby Allin, Will Ospreay, Mariah May, and more, witnessed a boost in ratings, as viewership figures for this week's episode have now been revealed.
According to Programming Insider and Wrestlenomics, Dynamite drew 716,000 viewers with an 18-49 demo rating of 0.21. Both of these metrics depict a marked improvement over last week's figures, which had raked in 660,000 viewers and a demo rating of 0.19.

Furthermore, it has been reported that Dynamite ranked second behind the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards amongst cable programming from around that time frame.
AEW Dynamite revealed new matches for Grand Slam 2024
The September 11 episode of Dynamite aired a video package in which Jon Moxley explained his violent betrayal of Bryan Danielson, seemingly hinting at having formed a new stable alongside Blackpool Combat Club teammate Claudio Castagnoli, his Trios partner PAC, and Marina Shafir.
Alongside The Problem, Moxley finally had his much-awaited face-to-face meeting with Darby Allin and asked the latter to give him his AEW World Championship shot that was scheduled for Grand Slam 2024. Allin instead dared The Purveyor of Violence to earn it, which led to Mox and the former TNT Champion agreeing to face off at Dynamite: Grand Slam over Allin's World Championship opportunity.
While the World Champion Bryan Danielson did not appear on Dynamite, his long-time rival Nigel McGuinness challenged him to a singles match at the Grand Slam. Tony Khan made the bout official, provided The American Dragon was cleared for competition.
Furthermore, a Tag Team Casino Gauntlet Match was hosted on Wednesday Night Dynamite to determine the next challengers for the World Tag Team Titles, which The Young Bucks currently hold. Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher won, securing a shot at The EVPs' belts on Dynamite: Grand Slam.
It remains to be seen how All Elite Wrestling continues to develop its programming moving forward.
