Last week, NXT and AEW produced big weeks with NXT moving to Tuesday night and AEW remaining on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, NXT finished 8th overall in cable and delivered 805,000 viewers. It drew 0.22 in the A18-49 demo, 0.19 F18-49, 0.26 M18-49, 0.10 in A18-34, 0.08 F12-34, 0.14 M12-34, 0.27A25-54 and 0.40 in over 50.
Wednesday AEW produced 1.219 million viewers and 2nd overall in cable. The telecast drew 0.44 in the A18-49 demo, 0.32 in F18-49, 0.55 in M18-49, 0.26 in A18-34. 0.19 in F12-34, 0.23 M12-34, 0.50 in A25-54 and 0.50 in over 50.
This was the first week in which the two shows appeared on different days.
Payout Perspective:
The move really helped both franchises as the telecasts show that more viewers are getting a chance to watch both live. Notably, AEW did beat NXT in the over 50 demo which is usually ruled by NXT. But NXT did make some gains in the A18-49 and M18-49. Still, AEW rules the A18-49 demo producing 0.44 overall on Wednesday.
Tony Kahn should be sending a thank you note to Vince McMahon and Steve Austin for allowing Chris Jericho to appear on the WWE Network. I would be willing to bet it got more eyes than usual to tune in to Dynamite.
