AEW Dynamite took steps forward leading up to their yearly Forbidden Door pay-per-view with the latest episode on June 12. The show had an average of 681,000 viewers, experiencing a 14% decrease compared to the previous week. AEW encountered strong competition from the NBA Finals, particularly Game 3 featuring the Boston Celtics versus the Dallas Mavericks, which attracted nearly 11 million viewers. Despite the decline in viewers, “Dynamite” still secured the second spot in the 18-49 demographic on cable and surpassed “WWE NXT” in the same age group. The event wrapped up with Will Ospreay effectively defending the AEW International Championship against Rey Fenix.
