Last Wednesday’s New Year’s Eve edition of AEW Dynamite averaged 398,000 viewers on TBS, down 22.1% from the last episode to air in its regular time slot two weeks earlier.
That marks the lowest audience Dynamite has ever done on a Wednesday with the only two lower numbers coming when the show was moved to Tuesday.
Dynamite averaged a 0.07 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 12.5% from the December 17 episode. That ties the record low rating the show has done in that category, regardless of day or time slot.
Numbers are still not available for the Christmas Eve Dynamite.
As compared to the same week in 2024 and using Nielsen’s previous ratings reporting method, overall viewership was down 32.3% while the 18-49 rating was down 56.3%. This year’s numbers do not include people watching on HBO Max.
Listed below are the last 10 weeks of available total viewers and 18-49 demo ratings for AEW Dynamite on TBS as well as the nine week average in both categories with the December 24 numbers not available.
This week’s show was down 21.4% in overall viewers and 30% in 18-49 as compared to recent averages.
