AEW Grand Slam Mexico Draws Best Audience Since July 2024 – AEW Grand Slam Mexico was a clear ratings victory for the company, drawing 736,000 viewers on TBS for the June 18 broadcast. This marks AEW’s highest total audience since July 24, 2024, showing a strong rebound for the promotion after several weeks of middling numbers.
The special also delivered a 0.21 rating in the key 18–49 demographic, significantly up from the 0.17 posted by the AEW Summer Blockbuster special. That four-hour event, which aired earlier this month, brought in only 597,000 viewers, making Grand Slam Mexico a decisive improvement in both total viewership and demo strength.
Contributing to the night’s success was the lack of major sports competition, as the Stanley Cup Final had concluded and there was no NBA Finals game scheduled for Wednesday night. This likely provided AEW with a clearer window to attract viewers, especially with a well-hyped international event set in Mexico’s iconic Arena México.
Grand Slam Mexico also saw major digital traction on YouTube, with top segments generating substantial views:
– Hangman Page saves Swerve Strickland from a Death Riders & Young Bucks beatdown — 377K views
– Mercedes Moné wins the CMLL Women’s Title before Toni Storm’s interruption — 348K views
– MJF & The Hurt Syndicate unmask Mistico until JetSpeed make the save — 276K views
– Mistico’s dramatic entrance in Arena México — 146K views
– Hangman Page speaks Spanish to address the Arena México crowd — 121K views
With strong numbers across linear and digital platforms, AEW’s global strategy and cross-promotional storytelling clearly resonated. As the promotion builds toward All In later this summer, Grand Slam Mexico stands as a major ratings high point in 2025.
