Payout Perspective:
The ratings race had been close the last couple of weeks and NXT finally passed AEW. The upstart promotion fell with the viewership while NXT increased its viewers. It will be interesting to see if the WWE product can maintain a lead as news of some talent and employees tested positive for COVID-19 this past week.
