AEW Dynamite Viewership Up to 497,000 on Nov. 5

The November 5, 2025, episode of All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite on TBS drew 497,000 viewers, marking an increase from the 459,000 who tuned in for the previous week's Fright Night special. The show, which aired live from a sold-out arena in an undisclosed location, also improved in the key 18-to-49 demographic with a 0.09 rating, up from 0.08 the week prior.

These figures, reported by Programming Insider, represent a modest rebound for the two-hour prime-time program amid broader challenges in wrestling viewership. Nielsen's updated ratings methodology, implemented in early September, has contributed to lower overall numbers across the industry, making direct comparisons to earlier periods more complex. For the year to date in 2025, Dynamite has averaged a 0.15 rating and 596,000 viewers in the demographic, compared to 0.24 and 716,000 for the same period in 2024. The episode finished eighth among cable originals for the night, trailing an NBA game between the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves on ESPN, which attracted 1.38 million viewers and a 0.37 rating. Viewership data excludes the simultaneous stream on Max, where numbers remain unreported.
