AEW Dynamite continues to reap benefits from the recent TNT-to-TBS switch this week, with the show soaring to its best ratings in several months.

As originally reported by Wrestlenomics' Brandon Thurston, the 19 January episode of Dynamite was watched by an average of 1.032 million viewers across its two hours. This included 570,000 viewers in the key 18-49 demographic for a rating of 0.44.

This means Dynamite's P18-49 number was the highest it has been since the 29 September 2021 episode. In addition, the show scored its best overall viewership (P2+) since 6 October. P18-49 was up 13% compared to the previous week while P2+ increased by 7%.
