The ratings for AEW Holiday Bash are in. The company presented a three-hour TV special (two hours of Dynamite followed by Collision) from Manchester, England, this past Wednesday.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer on X, this week’s AEW Dynamite recorded 511,000 viewers on TBS. For context, the company’s flagship show attracted 516,000 viewers last week.
As far as the rating in the key 18 to 49 demographic is concerned, AEW Dynamite recorded a 0.08 rating, compared to the 0.09 rating it garnered last week.
Meanwhile, AEW Collision Holiday Bash registered 333,000 viewers and a 0.05 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic.
Overall, the three-hour block garnered an average of 422,000 viewers and a 0.06 demo rating. While the average viewership is up from the last three-hour show on November 19, the demo number is down.
“On Wednesday against Trump’s speech and large news ratings, Dynamite did 511K/0.08 and Collision did 333K/0.05, not including MAX, so this only covers 61.5% of the homes that had access to the show in the U.S.,” Meltzer wrote.

The major attraction of this past Wednesday’s Dynamite was MJF’s return to weekly programming. The former AEW World Champion interrupted the contract signing segment involving current champ Samoa Joe and challengers Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page ahead of their three-way match at AEW Worlds End next weekend. He signed the Casino Gauntlet contract to make it a four-way contest.
The show also featured the annual Battle Royal for the Dynamite Diamond Ring, with Ricochet and Bandido emerging as the final two contestants. They are set for a one-on-one match at Dynamite on 34th Street.
Meanwhile, Collision witnessed a major title change, as Alex Windsor dethroned Mercedes Mone as the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Champion.
