With AEW Revolution 2025 firmly prior to now, All Elite Wrestling began taking steps towards their next major pay-per-view, Dynasty on April 6, with the March 12 episode of “AEW Dynamite.” Will Ospreay declared that he can be entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Orange Cassidy advanced within the AEW International Championship Eliminator Tournament, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey made his long-awaited debut for the corporate, beating The Beast Mortos and joining Cassidy in the following round of the competition to find out who faces Kenny Omega at Dynasty.
Since AEW was coming off of certainly one of its biggest pay-per-views in recent memory, the rankings on TBS reflected that, as The Programming Insider have confirmed that the March 12 episode averaged a complete of 628,000 viewers. This can be a 5% increase on the previous week’s 600,000 viewers, a 7% rise on the trailing for week average that currently stands at 585,000 viewers, and is the third highest average viewership “Dynamite” has earned in 2025 up to now.
There was a good larger rise within the 18-49 demographic as “Dynamite” posted a 0.16 number, a 23% increase on the 0.13 number from March 5, which puts the show back according to the trailing 4 week average, which also sits at 0.16. In what’s becoming an everyday pattern for AEW on Wednesday nights, “Dynamite” once more ranked behind FOX News and the NBA coverage on ESPN within the rankings, ending within the sixth place amongst all prime time cable telecasts, with “Summer House” on Bravo narrowly beating AEW to the fifth spot.
AEW will probably be seeking to break into the highest five with the March 19 episode of “Dynamite,” a show that may see Jon Moxley defend the AEW World Championship in a Street Fight against Cope, and Kenny Omega will discover who’s Dynasty opponent will probably be.
