AEW Dynamite ratings were up for this Wednesday's post-Double or Nothing 2025 episode, but the show's 18-49 number remained in the bottom four for the year so far.

Per Wrestlenomics, Dynamite drew an average of 636,000 P2+ viewers across its two hours on TBS on 28 May, with the DoN fallout show hitting a 0.16 P18-49 rating. This was enough for Dynamite to finish around fifth on the night on cable.

An NBA game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves topped the evening with an audience of 1.825 million and 1.36 P18-49 rating. Dynamite went head-to-head with this key Western Conference Finals clash.

Dynamite's P2+ figure was up 10.6% from the previous week's 575,000, hitting its highest mark since March. P18-49 increased as well, up 6.7%, though this still tied the show's fourth-lowest for 2025 so far.

Year over year, Dynamite was down 36% in overall viewership and 19.2% in the 18-49 demographic.

AEW announced little of this week's Dynamite lineup in advance, confirming the bulk of the matches on the day of the show itself. An AEW International Title qualifier between Brody King and Josh Alexander took top billing, match-wise, but the show was closed by an in-ring segment featuring All In opponents Mercedes Moné and Toni Storm. That segment turned out to be a big winner on the night, drawing Dynamite's peak audience of 705,000, representing a significant increase.

A three-way confrontation between 'Hangman' Adam Page, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, and a trios match of Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, and Gabe Kidd vs. Mark Briscoe, Mike Bailey, and Willow Nightingale were amongst the other big-name highlights.
