NXT wins overall ratings battle versus AEW

April 17, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

NXT won another week in the total viewership of its two-hour telecast on the USA Network versus AEW Dynamite on TNT.  NXT drew 692,000 viewers and AEW with 683,000 viewers per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.

AEW scored higher in the A18-49 demo with 0.25 and 0.35 with males 18-49.  NXT drew 0.17 in the A18-49 demo.  

The events were tape-delayed without fans due to social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home edicts by the respective states where the telecasts were held.  AEW pre-taped matches a couple weeks ago to compensate for this downtime. Both telecasts used pre-taped vignettes to compensate for the lack of in-ring action. 

Payout Perspective:


The ratings have shown a lag since both had to go without a crowd.  WWE’s product, NXT, won the last two weeks based on its pull with older viewers.  The trend will likely continue as WWE is back to producing live content as granted by the State of Florida.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
