As noon eastern time today, AEW’s new YouTube show – Dark Elevation – has garnered more than 400,000 views on the video sharing platform. While there is no specific ranking system for YouTube or similar online video sharing websites, it is noteworthy that Dark Elevation has generated about half of the weekly average viewership of the company’s flagship TNT show, Dynamite.
There is no official word out of AEW yet regarding the large viewership for the new show, but generating such a high number of viewers within 17 hours of being premiered (especially when many of those hours are traditional sleep hours) shows that Dark Elevation has a lot of promise for AEW.
