Strong numbers for AEW’s latest Dynamite despite overall yearly decline
Summary
– AEW Dynamite drew 679,000 viewers, up 10.4 percent from last week
– The 18-49 demo rating was 0.18, a 5.9 percent increase
– Despite the weekly boost, viewership is down 23.8 percent from the same week in 2024
AEW Dynamite’s Maximum Carnage edition delivered a boost in viewership, averaging 679,000 viewers on TBS, marking the highest total since October 2. The 18-49 demographic also saw a rise, drawing a 0.18 rating, up 5.9 percent from the previous week.
The show featured a rare AEW World Championship match between Jon Moxley and Powerhouse Hobbs, Kenny Omega’s first AEW match since December 2023, and the first-ever women’s Casino Gauntlet Match.
Despite the recent growth, year-over-year numbers tell a different story, with overall viewership down 23.8 percent and the 18-49 rating down 45.5 percent. The Max simulcast data remains unavailable, but it could be pulling in younger viewers outside of traditional TV.
