AEW 775K, NXT 698K

December 25, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

AEW Dynamite drew 775,000 viewers on Wednesday night before Christmas.  NXT on the USA Network drew 698,000 viewers opposite AEW on TNT. 

AEW was 5th overall in the cable ratings Wednesday night drawing 0.32 in the A18-49 demo, 0.44 in M18-49, 0.23 in A18-34, 0.42 in A25-54 and 0.28 in over 50.

NXT was 40th overall with 0.19 in the A18-49 demo, 0.23 in M18-49, 0.09 in A18-34, 0.22 in A25-54 and 0.36 in the over 50 category.

Payout Perspective:

As with the custom for both programs, NXT does well with the over 50 category and AEW draws strong in the younger demo.  However, the two programs drew closer this week with both telecasts slightly dropping in overall viewers this week.  AEW did air after the NBA on TNT with a slight overrun of a very exciting Bucks-Celtics game.  That game drew 2 million viewers but did not have a very strong bump for AEW as viewers soon left TNT to go elsewhere.
