Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 585,000 viewers for TBS, according to ProgrammingInsider.com. The viewership was down from last week’s average of 590,000. Dynamite finished with a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demo, equal to the previous week’s 0.10 rating in the same demo.
Powell’s POV: The HBO Max streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count for AEW programming. Tuesday’s NXT on The CW averaged 498,000 viewers and a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demo. One year ago, on May 14, 2025, Dynamite on TBS delivered 682,000 viewers and a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the Beach Break edition.
Bruce Springsteen wrote a chorus about the AEW ratings back in 1984.
“I’m goin’ down, down, down, down
I’m goin’ down, down, down, down
I’m goin’ down, down, down, down
I’m goin’ down, down, down, down”
“You’re fuckin’ crazy.” – Axl Rose
