AEW Dynamite Viewership Rises Amid Stiff Competition

Published on

Largest Audience Since December Despite NBA and News Coverage


Summary

– AEW Dynamite averaged 615,000 viewers, up 4.6 percent from last week

– The show scored a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demo, up 6.3 percent but tied for the second-lowest since November

– Max simulcast data was not included, potentially skewing younger viewers away from traditional cable

AEW Dynamite’s latest episode drew its largest audience since December 18, averaging 615,000 viewers on TBS, a 4.6 percent increase from the previous week. The show also improved slightly in the 18-49 demographic, earning a 0.17 rating, up 6.3 percent from last week. However, this ties for the second-lowest rating in that category since late November.

These figures do not account for Dynamite’s simulcast on Max, which could explain the noticeable skew toward an older cable audience compared to the same week in 2024. Year-over-year, Dynamite’s overall viewership dropped 22.8 percent, with the 18-49 demo down 41.4 percent.

The episode aired opposite one of the NBA’s biggest regular-season matchups between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers, which dominated the cable charts with 1.87 million viewers and a 0.59 rating in the 18-49 demo. Additionally, heightened coverage of the Southern California wildfires drew increased viewership to cable news stations.

Despite these challenges, Dynamite’s performance represents a modest improvement, and the potential impact of its Max simulcast continues to raise questions about shifting viewing habits among AEW’s audience.
