In comparison, AEW drew 0.45 in the A18-49 demo.  It also drew 0.57 in the M18-49 demo.  NXT on the USA Network drew 0.22 in M18-49 but did well in the over 50 category with 0.35.  AEW drew 0.29 in the over 50 category. 

According to multiple outlets, AEW scored well with several quarter hours over 1 million viewers.  Last week, AEW scored 913,000 viewers and 543,000 in the A18-49 demo.  NXT was up slightly from 658,000 last week. 

Payout Perspective:

Another strong week for AEW with it being second in ratings in cable on Wednesday.  It is also topping the charts in the key demos such as the adult 18-49 and male 18-49 categories.  Similarly, NXT has done well despite trailing AEW in overall viewership.

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.
