AEW Dynamite aired its final episode before Revolution on Wednesday, but according to Wrestlingomics, Tony Khan’s promotion didn’t set the bar high for the pay-per-view weekend. Ratings data shows that “Dynamite” has been steadily declining in ratings and ratings despite Nielsen’s recent overhaul of its methodology.
According to Wrestlenomics, the March 11 episode of Dynamite drew 619,000 viewers and a 0.09 rating in the key P18-49 demo, according to Programming Insider. “Dynamite” tied with the Venezuela/Mexico game of the World Baseball Classic as the 15th most-watched cable program of the night in the key demo.

These numbers are concerning in every way, but most troubling in key demonstrations. While overall ratings for “Dynamite” were down 5% compared to the last episode on March 3 and down 4% over the past four weeks, the show’s key demo ratings were down 25% compared to March 3 and over the past four weeks when “Dynamite” aired. “Dynamite” key demo ratings were down 41% from the first quarter of 2025 and down 38% from March 2025.
Live audiences are crucial to almost any pro wrestling promotion, but unfortunately, Dynamite on March 11 is also struggling when it comes to physical ticket sales. Wrestlenomics reports that AEW sold approximately 2,402 tickets during Wednesday’s San Jose stop, according to a report from WrestleTix. That’s lower than their first-quarter average of 3,100 tickets per show this year, and even lower than their first-quarter 2025 average of 2,700 tickets sold per show.
Wednesday’s episode of “Dynamite” was just as action-packed as previous episodes, despite lower ratings. The show saw defending champions Willow Nightingale and Kyle Fletcher defend the TBS Championship and TNT Championship, while MJF and “The Hangman” Adam Page ended the show with a main event brawl at the pre-Revolution press conference.
