The final AEW Dynamite before this weekend’s Grand Slam Australia show saw the show post its lowest viewership of 2025.

The taped episode that aired on Wednesday averaged 579,000 viewers and 214,000 viewers (0.16) in the 18-49 demographic.

The viewership fell by 4% while the core demographic was down by 7% from last week’s numbers. It was Dynamite’s smallest viewership since December 25, 2024, and lowest in the demo since January 1.

These figures do not take into account the viewership on Max.

In the 18-49 demo, males fell by 13% averaging 144,000 viewers and females had an increase of 8% to 70,000 viewers.

The major decline was seen in the 18-34 demographic, which fell from 77,000 viewers last week to 54,000 this week including a nearly 40% dip among men in the demo.

The 35-54 demographic averaged 160,000 viewers, which was up 4% from last week due to an increase among females.

Dynamite ranked sixth among cable programming in prime time behind the San Antonio Spurs vs. Boston Celtics on ESPN (0.34), 4 Nations Face-off between Canada and Sweden on TNT (0.30), Jesse Watters Primetime (0.23), Hannity (0.21), and Gutfeld (0.21) on Fox News.

Dynamite was taped the night before in Austin, Texas to accommodate the crew flying to Brisbane for Saturday’s Grand Slam event, which airs after the NBA All-Star festivities on TNT.
