AEW Dynamite Ratings Report (4/16): Viewership and key demo data for Spring Break Thru with Mercedes vs. Athena, plus two years ago comparisons, ten week trends

Wednesday night’s (4/17) episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS averaged 624,000 viewers, compared to 659,000 the prior week and the 594,000 the week before that. The current ten-week rolling average is 617,000.

(Note: Additional viewers watch AEW Collision on Max streaming service as of Jan. 1, 2025, and those viewers are not part of the TBS data. Generally data from streaming is tallied as total number of who watched any part of the show and cable ratings are the average viewership per minute, so streaming viewership data tends to be substantially higher than a comparable cable rating-style tally would indicate.)

One year ago this week, Dynamite drew 762,000 viewers. The ten-week rolling average a year ago was 792,000.
