The April 23, 2025, episode of AEW Dynamite brought a fresh twist to TBS with an eventful night of high-stakes action as rap legend Master P made his appearance during the show and more.
According to Dave Meltzer, AEW Dynamite drew 521,000 viewers, down significantly from the 624,000 viewers it scored on April 16. In the key P18–49 demographic, the show posted a 0.14 rating — also down from last week’s 0.17. These numbers only reflect the TBS television broadcast and do not include viewership from Max.
Dave Meltzer noted that two NBA playoff games and one NHL playoff game were going head-to-head. The ratings were ranked 5th each hour, and the viewership was hurt by the 5 p.m. West Coast start time. This number doesn’t include MAX viewership.
This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured a lot of memorable moments. This includes rap legend Master P making an appearance on the show and getting involved with The Opps and The Death Riders’ feud, where he also took some body shots at Jon Moxley for good measure.
FTR also returned from suspension and they brought Stokely Hathaway with them, as they destroyed the Rock n Roll Express. This and many other moments took place throughout the night.
