AEW Dynamite viewership up slightly, Power Slap doesn’t hold audience

Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite averaged 969,000 viewers on TBS, virtually identical to the 967,000 viewers the show did last week. This is the highest audience total for Dynamite since October 26.

In the 18-49 demo, Dynamite finished third on the cable charts with a 0.31 rating. That’s down 6.1 percent from the previous week but is Dynamite’s second-highest rating in the demo since December 14. The show only trailed two NBA games on ESPN on the cable charts.

Dynamite’s ratings were relatively steady in all demos with the biggest increase coming in the women 18-49 age group, which was up 4.6 percent. The biggest decline was in people 18-34, which had a 12 percent drop.

As compared to the same week in 2022, Dynamite’s overall audience was down 6.1 percent and its 18-49 rating was down 29.6 percent, so the audience is skewing much older. In fact, the 50-plus demo is now the strongest for AEW which hasn’t been the case historically.

The debut of Dana White’s Power Slap: Road to the Title, which aired on TBS immediately following Dynamite, did not hold much of the audience. The debut episode of Power Slap averaged 295,000 viewers and finished 45th on the cable charts with a 0.10 rating.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and individual demo ratings for Dynamite, along with the 10-week averages in all categories. This week’s show was up 8.4 percent in overall viewers and up 3.3 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
