Wednesday night's New Year's Smash edition of AEW Dynamite averaged 975,000 viewers on TNT, down 4.4 percent from last week. It's still the second-best audience for the show since November 17.

This was the final episode of Dynamite before the show moves to TBS next Wednesday with an episode headlined by Bryan Danielson challenging Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship.

Dynamite finished fourth on the cable charts with the same 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demo as it drew last week. The show only trailed three college football bowl games on ESPN.

Portions of two of the bowl games went head-to-head with Dynamite and averaged 4.8 million viewers and a 1.14 rating in the 18-49 demo, much stronger competition than the NBA games that usually air on Wednesday nights.

In the individual demo categories, Dynamite's biggest drop was with people over 50. The show dropped 16.3 percent from last week to a 0.36 rating in that category. Conversely, this episode did very well with females. In the 18-49 age group, women were up 31.6 percent -- but men were down 9.1 percent. In 12-34, females were up 33.3 percent and males were down 13 percent.

As compared to this week last year, which was AEW's Brodie Lee tribute show, Dynamite was down 0.2 percent in overall viewers and down 7.5 percent in 18-49.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo numbers for Dynamite, along with the 10-week averages prior to this week. This week's show was up 4.1 percent in viewers and up 5.7 percent in 18-49 from the recent averages.
