It’s Thursday and you know what that means… ratings for Wednesday night Dynamite are out. The TNT era has come to an end, but the TBS era kicked off with a bang. And we won’t have to wait long for AEW to return to TNT with Battle of the Belts on Saturday. Let’s see how AEW Dynamite did on TBS.
AEW Dynamite: TBS Era Begins
AEW Dynamite made its debut on TBS Wednesday night January 5th, 2022 inside Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. This was the first show of the new year and the first time AEW returned to New Jersey since September. AEW Dynamite was viewed by 1,010,000 people. This is up from a week ago. In addition, the show did a .43 in the 18-49 demo which was about 560,000 people. The first show of the TBS era finished number two on cable according to Showbuzzdaily.com.

Dynamite kicked off the TBS era with a great show. AEW opened the show with Bryan Danielson-“Hangman” Adam Page II for the AEW World Championship. This one did not go as long but was so good. Another instant classic. In addition, two other championship matches were held. First, history was on the line as Jade Cargill took on Ruby Soho to be crowned the first-ever TBS Champion. And in the main event, Jurassic Express took on the Lucha Bros for the AEW Tag Team Championships.

Along with those matches, we saw the continuation of the CM Punk-MJF feud. They had another war of words. Chris Jericho made his first appearance on TBS since April of 1999. Plus we got interviews from Serena Deeb, Adam Cole, and Malakai Black versus Brian Pillman Jr.
