AEW Dynamite Viewership for April 9 – The April 9 post-Dynasty episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS drew 659,000 viewers, marking a 10.9% increase from the April 2 broadcast. It stands as Dynamite’s second-largest audience total since January 15, trailing only the March 26 show, which reached 663,000 viewers.
In the key 18-49 demographic, the show scored a 0.17 rating, up 6.3% from the previous week. This ties the second-highest 18-49 rating Dynamite has posted since February 26. The show ranked #3 on cable for the night, finishing behind only the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA game (0.73 in 18-49, 2.261 million viewers) and programming on Fox News.
While these numbers reflect a positive week-to-week trend, year-over-year comparisons paint a more cautious picture. Compared to the same week in 2024, total viewership was down 19.5%, and the 18-49 demo rating was down 43.3%.

Key Observations:
- Strongest demo rating: March 19 (0.19), a peak since early February.
- Lowest demo rating: March 5 (0.13), suggesting potential underperformance during that week’s programming.
- Steady core audience: Dynamite has consistently maintained a 0.16–0.17 rating for six of the last seven weeks, suggesting stability within its key demographic.
- Post-PPV bounce: Both March 6 (after Revolution) and April 9 (after Dynasty) saw solid numbers, a common trend following major events.
- Overall trend: Dynamite is maintaining a viewership range between 560,000 to 660,000, with demo fluctuations tied closely to storyline peaks and external competition.
The April 9 rebound likely benefited from the fallout of AEW Dynasty, including storyline developments and the momentum surrounding champions like Jon Moxley and The Death Riders. However, the year-over-year drop still signals a need for stronger retention strategies, especially amid growing competition and audience fragmentation due to streaming availability.
