AEW Dynamite Ratings Rise for March 25 Episode

AEW Dynamite Ratings Rise for March 25 Episode

AEW Dynamite ratings saw a strong increase for the March 25 broadcast, continuing a positive trend for the show in recent weeks.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the March 25 episode of AEW Dynamite drew 765,000 viewers on TBS, along with a 0.14 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This marks the highest total audience for Dynamite in several months.

The viewership figure stands as the best since the highly praised one-hour match between MJF and Will Ospreay, which aired before AEW began simulcasting episodes on MAX. The increase is notable given the level of competition on the same night.

Dynamite aired opposite MLB Opening Day coverage, along with a high-profile game featuring the New York Yankees vs. the San Francisco Giants streaming on Netflix. Both events likely attracted a large audience, making AEW’s growth even more significant.

This episode also represents the second straight week of gains for AEW Dynamite. The March 18 show brought in 730,000 viewers and a 0.13 rating in the key demographic. At the time, that number was already the highest audience since the Grand Slam Mexico special in 2025, showing steady momentum for the program.

The March 25 edition of Dynamite took place live in St. Paul, Minnesota, and featured several key developments tied to upcoming storylines.

The show opened with Kenny Omega defeating Swerve Strickland in a major match to become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship. Following the victory, AEW confirmed that Omega will challenge MJF for the title at AEW Dynasty, which is scheduled for April 12 in Vancouver.

Additional matches for Dynasty were also set during the broadcast. Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay was officially announced, adding another high-profile bout to the card.

In the women’s division, Thekla successfully retained the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mina Shirakawa. The main event saw Darby Allin score a victory over RUSH to close out the show.

With back-to-back increases in both total viewership and the key demo rating, AEW Dynamite ratings are showing clear improvement heading into AEW Dynasty.

UFC Fight Night 271: Adesanya Vs. Pyfer Full Fight Card & Preview

UFC Fight Night 271 emanates from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Saturday, headlined by Israel Adesanya versus Joe Pyfer. 

Adesanya looks to halt his losing streak on the fourth fight since Sean Strickland dethroned him for the UFC Middleweight Championship this in September 2023. He has since been stopped by Dricus Du Plessis in a shot at the title in 2024 and then once more by Nassourdine Imavov in 2025, so this fight against No. 14 ranked Joe Pyfer is a must-win for the two-time champion to remain in contention.

John Bradshaw Layfield Reflects On Steve Austin’s 2002 WWE Walkout: ‘I Was Shocked’

One of the biggest behind-the-scenes dramas in WWE as it was coming out of its infamous Attitude Era was the walkout of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin on the company he helped launched into the mainstream. Austin walked out of Vince McMahon’s company after learning he was going to lose a King of the Ring qualifying match to Brock Lesnar, but has since clarified he didn’t want to waste the big match on free television with no build. On a recent episode of “Something to Wrestle,” John Bradshaw Layfield looked back on the time, and said he was shocked that Austin walked out that night and did not come back.

“I didn’t believe that Steve was gone and going to be gone,” he said. “You gotta understand, we got there in ’95, and business was so bad, and all of a sudden, we’re selling out everywhere. That’s the guy that did it. And all of a sudden, he’s gone? You think he’s coming back, absolutely, he’s our guy. He is our guy. So yeah, I was shocked that it didn’t happen.”

JBL said that he would have taken any odds that the conflict would have been fixed between McMahon and Austin within a week or two, or even a few months, at most. He said that McMahon made up with “almost everybody” when it came to business, regardless of his personal feelings.

Austin would return to WWE in 2003 for his final full-time year in the ring. He was brought back thanks to a postcard from “Good Ol’ JR,” Jim Ross, who was head of talent relations at the time.
