Wednesday night’s edition of AEW Dynamite proved to be a resounding success as it captivated an average audience of 877,000 viewers on TBS, marking a commendable 13 percent increase from the previous week. This remarkable feat equaled the show’s highest audience total since March 22, showcasing the unwavering popularity of the program.
In the coveted 18-49 demographic, Dynamite soared to the ninth position on the cable charts, securing a commendable 0.32 rating. This represents a significant surge of 14.3 percent compared to the previous week, solidifying it as Dynamite’s highest rating since March 22 and ranking it among the show’s top five ratings of the year.
Undoubtedly, the Wednesday night showdown faced stiff competition from various sources, including the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, Vanderpump Rules, and a CNN Town Hall featuring Donald Trump.
Dynamite’s ratings experienced an across-the-board improvement, with notable increases among younger viewers. The female viewership in the 12-34 age group saw a remarkable surge of 62.5 percent, while the overall 18-34 demographic witnessed a commendable rise of 25 percent.
When compared to the same week in 2022, Dynamite’s overall viewership registered a notable upswing of 4.4 percent, demonstrating its consistent popularity. However, the 18-49 rating experienced a slight decline of three percent, highlighting the inherent challenges of maintaining year-over-year growth. Notably, this marks only the second time this year that Dynamite has achieved a year-over-year increase in overall viewership.
Despite the fierce competition and changing landscape, AEW Dynamite continues to captivate fans with its compelling content, attracting a loyal and ever-growing audience.
