It drew a cable rating of 0.80, up from last week&#8217;s 0.71. It&#8217;s the highest cable rating since Dynamite&#8217;s first episode drew a 0.84.

It had drawn a 0.46, 0.45, and 0.44 ratings in that demo in late July and early August, so no great leap there from some prior numbers, but a sizable jump from the 0.35 the prior two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Punk&#8217;s AEW debut on AEW Rampage last Friday drew 1.129 million viewers (with a peak over 1.4 million for three minutes of Punk&#8217;s promo) and a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demo.
