Summary

AEW Dynamite drew 596,000 viewers on TBS for its April 29 episode, down from the 617,000 viewers the show posted on April 22.

The episode also delivered a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was down from the 0.10 demo rating the prior week. Dynamite finished ninth on cable for the night while airing against both the NFL and NBA playoffs.

AEW also simulcast the show on HBO Max, though streaming viewership information was not available.

What the April 29 number means for AEW

The April 29 figure shows how hard major live sports competition can hit weekly wrestling television, especially on a night when Dynamite was going against playoff games in two different leagues. AEW still finished inside the cable top 10, which matters more than the raw total on a crowded sports night.

Week-to-week audience swings have not been limited to AEW either, as WWE SmackDown also posted a notable March decline. For AEW, the more useful follow-up number will be whether Dynamite rebounds once the sports calendar eases.

YouTube interest from the episode

The most-watched video tied to the April 29 Dynamite and Collision content on YouTube was Darby Allin saying MJF would not get a rematch, which reached 161,000 views. Clips focused on Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay, Darby Allin vs. Brody King, Cage and Cope vs. RPG Vice, and Ricochet's latest exchange with Chris Jericho rounded out the top five.
