NXT 712K, AEW 710K

December 3, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

NXT earned a narrow victory over AEW during an abbreviated week due to Thanksgiving.  Ratings per Nielsen

AEW drew 710,000 viewers and 340,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo.  It drew a household rating of 0.39. It drew 026 in the A18-49, 0.37 in M18-49, 0.16 in A18-34, 0.30 in A25-54 and 0.29 in over 50. 

NXT drew 712,000 viewers and 0.20 in the A18-49 demo.  It drew 0.26 in the M18-49 demo, 0.07 in the A18-34, 0.29 in A25-54 and 0.38 in over 50.  

Payout Perspective: 

Despite winning the overall viewership, AEW still made the top 10 in cable last Wednesday.  NXT drew an overall viewership rating due to the fact that it has a stronger over 50 viewership than AEW.  But the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a down time for viewership and the slight victory by NXT may be overturned once this week’s ratings come in.

People who do martial arts will laugh and tell me it’s fake. But then I ask them why they do martial arts? 😉

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
