AEW Dynamite Falls To Lowest TV Rating Ever: 472,000 Viewers, 0.11 P18-49 (AEW News)
AEW hits its lowest viewership ever for Dynamite headlined by All-Star eight-man tag.
AEW Dynamite has fallen this week to its lowest cable audience for a non-preempted episode in the show's six-year history.
According to Wrestlenomics, 472,000 P2+ viewers watched the Wednesday 3 September Dynamite across its two hours on TBS. The episode's 0.11 P18-49 rating saw it finish seventh on the night amongst cable shows.
Dynamite's P2+ audience was down 19% from the previous week's 585,000, with the P18-49 rating dropping from an estimated 0.13. Wrestlenomics estimates Dynamite finished fourth in last week's cable rankings.
Beyond last week, Dynamite was down 26% from the brand's four-week average, 638,000. There was also a significant year-over-year drop from 4 September 2024, which hit 600,000 viewers and a 0.19 P18-49 rating.
AEW is currently in the midst of a residency at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's 2300 Arena, the former home of ECW. This week's show was headlined by an eight-man All-Star tag team match pitting Josh Alexander, Kyle Fletcher, and The Young Bucks against 'Hangman' Adam Page, Kenny Omega, and JetSpeed. TBS Champion Mercedes Moné defended her title against Alex Windsor, while World Tag Team Champions Brodido fended off the Death Riders' Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta.
AEW Dynamite currently simulcasts on TBS and Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming platform, HBO Max. Weekly audience information for Max is not publicly disclosed.
This drop-off comes within a week of WWE SmackDown hitting an all-time ratings low on Friday nights. While neither number is likely to spark an internal inquisition on its own, it'll be interesting to see how things shake out, trend-wise, with pro wrestling viewerships now that the NFL is back and the new NBA season is weeks away.
