AEW is celebrating a significant victory in the ratings this week, as the Wednesday night episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 653,000 viewers on TBS. This figure represents a massive 31.1 percent increase from the prior week and marks the largest audience total for the flagship show since the Blood & Guts special in September 2025.
In the key 18-49 demographic, Dynamite drew a 0.09 rating. That number is up 12.5 percent from last week and ties the best rating the show has achieved in that category since November 26. Despite the jump, the show faced stiff competition, finishing tied for 16th on the cable charts while going head-to-head with an NBA game on ESPN that dominated the night with a 0.59 rating.
Comparing these figures to the same week in 2025, overall viewership is up 8.1 percent, though the 18-49 rating sees a significant drop of 47.1 percent due to changes in Nielsen’s reporting methods. Statistically, this week’s show was up 32.1 percent in total viewers compared to the recent nine-week average.
