Payout Perspective:

A little step back by AEW from last week as WWE’s NXT stays relatively even over the past two weeks.  It is worthy to note that AEW has secured the male 18-49 demo while NXT holds an advantage with the over 50 demo.  This is obviously based on the two companies and its brand and business strategies but interesting to note that WWE usually has the male demo advantage with SmackDown on Friday nights.
