AEW President Tony Khan isn’t denying the heat around Dynamite’s Max numbers—he’s embracing it.
During the AEW Dynasty media call, Khan was asked about a recent SEScoops report that claimed AEW Dynamite pulls 500,000 viewers on average on Max during or within 24 hours of airing, clocking in around 60 million minutes watched each week.
Khan gave the report a big thumbs up, confirming it lines up with what he’s been hearing internally. “I thought that was a really exciting report for AEW and very consistent with everything we’ve been told,” Khan said. “While the numbers are being kept close to the vest, we’re one of the top sports streaming shows and that report was consistent with what I’ve heard.”
The numbers quickly caught attention, especially as streaming data tends to stay locked behind corporate doors. But for fans and critics wondering if AEW was still thriving in the digital space, these figures paint a strong picture of Dynamite’s streaming strength.
With AEW Dynasty right around the corner, this kind of viewership momentum couldn’t come at a better time. Whether or not you’re tuning in live on TBS or catching up later on Max, it’s clear AEW has found its streaming groove.
