AEW President Tony Khan has released new Nielsen data illustrating strong viewership gains for AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision in the first half of 2025—signaling what Khan has already called the “best year ever” for All Elite Wrestling.
The graphic, posted via Khan’s social media, compares U.S. linear viewership averages (live and same-day) from Q4 2024 against Q1 and Q2 of 2025, spotlighting both total audience growth and increases in the all-important 25–54 demographic.
AEW Collision has seen the most significant surge, boasting a 28% rise in the P25-54 demo, jumping from 145,000 average viewers in Q4 2024 to 186,000 in Q2 2025. The show’s total viewership (P2+) is up 25%, climbing from 328,000 to 409,000 over the same timeframe.
AEW Dynamite, the company’s flagship program, also delivered positive momentum. The P25-54 demo improved by 8%, moving from 279,000 to 301,000 viewers, while total viewership rose 7%, from an average of 589,000 to 627,000.

The numbers come on the heels of several major AEW milestones in 2025, including the success of Grand Slam Mexico, a new Max simulcast deal, and a string of widely praised pay-per-views. The data further cements AEW’s upward trajectory as it continues to strengthen its television presence and expand its audience base.
As AEW heads into the second half of 2025, all eyes will be on how the company capitalizes on this momentum—both in the ring and across its growing media platforms.
