AEW Dynamite Ratings Report [CORRECTED] (5/7): Viewership and key demo info, comparison to recent weeks, 10-week averages, comparison to past years

By Wade Keller, PWTorch editor


SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

UPDATE: We initially reported 531,000 viewers and 0.13 in the 18-49 demo, which is based on live viewership but not taking into account the usual delayed viewership later that day which is the more commonly reported data. Our report below reflects the updated data using our usual “live + same day” data.


Wednesday night’s (5/7) episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS averaged 531,000 live viewers and 629,000 live plus same-day viewers, compared to 629,000 live plus same-day the prior week and the 521,000 the week before that. The current ten-week rolling average is 621,000.

(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 viewers 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 711000 viewers. The ten-week rolling average a year ago was 756,000.

Two years ago this week, Dynamite drew 903,000. Then ten-week rolling average was 876,000.

Three years ago this week, Dynamite drew 939,000. Then ten-week rolling average was 925,000.
