Subscribers can now read Dave Meltzer’s full thoughts on the AEW Grand Slam Mexico ratings & viewership patterns.

Here’s an excerpt:

“AEW Grand Slam from Mexico City, a show totally unlike any show the company has done before and in front of one of its best crowds ever, was also a huge ratings success.

The show did 736,000 viewers with an 0.21 (286,000 viewers) in 18-49 and 0.12 in 18-34 on TBS, and was the most successful episode of the show in the Max simulcast era.

It was the best 18-49 rating since July 17, 2024, and the best in 25-54 since April 17, 2024.

There are a few notes regarding the number and that it was actually misleadingly low, not high.”
