Summary

AEW Dynamite drew 730,000 viewers on TBS for its April 1 episode, down from the 765,000 viewers the show posted on March 25. The episode recorded a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up slightly from last week's 0.14.

Despite the drop in total viewers, Dynamite still finished sixth on cable for the night. The show was also simulcast on HBO Max, though streaming viewership figures were not available.

Most-viewed videos from the April 1 episode

The most-watched clip tied to Dynamite and Collision from April 1 was Chris Jericho's return to All Elite Wrestling, which reached 350,000 views on YouTube. Other top performers included Cage and Cope breaking into FTR's locker room, Darby Allin calling out MJF and landing a match for AEW Dynasty, the MJF and Kenny Omega contract signing, and Will Ospreay vs. PAC.

What the April 1 Dynamite numbers mean for AEW

AEW saw its overall audience dip, but the slight rise in the 18-49 demo suggests Dynamite held up a bit better with younger viewers than the total audience number alone would indicate. That kind of split can matter during a push toward a major card, especially with AEW Dynasty programs involving names like MJF, Kenny Omega, Darby Allin and Will Ospreay getting heavy attention on the same episode.

A similar ratings pattern showed up elsewhere on wrestling television recently, as WWE SmackDown's March 27 audience fell while its 18-49 demo rating also ticked up.
