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.
