As PWMania.com previously reported, the April 14th edition of AEW Dynamite drew 1.219 million (0.44 18-49 demo) viewers and was the second-highest viewership number for Dynamite in the history of the show following the premiere.
In regards to the quarter hours, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that overall viewership peaked during the 5th quarter which was Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood with Mike Tyson as the special guest enforcer. That segment drew 1.350 million viewers.
The 18-49 demo peaked at 599,000 viewers during the final quarter hour which was Darby Allin vs. Matt Hardy for the TNT Title.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com provided more details on Dynamite’s viewership increase:
P50+ is the lone demo NXT always beat AEW in.
Maybe future weeks' data will be different, but one result of the end of the Wednesday Night War may be that AEW has a bigger audience but with an older median viewer.

In the NPS surveys I've done so far using Facebook ads (removed from the age skew of linear TV and possibly a correlation between age and which wrestling program you choose to watch Live+SD) lead me to believe viewers of AEW and WWE programs are pretty similar in age.
