AEW tops NXT in special return to Tuesday night wars

October 20, 2022 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Tuesday night saw NXT and AEW Dynamite run up head to head against one another.  While AEW defeated NXT as it did in the past, the ratings were not too far apart. 

Per Nielsen, via ShowBuzz Daily, AEW drew 752,000 viewers on Tuesday as it made way for the MLB Playoffs on TBS and NHL Hockey on TNT.  NXT on the USA Network finished 4 spots behind the 8th ranked AEW with 676,000 viewers. 

AEW Dynamite did come away with more in the A18-49 demo with 0.26 in the A18-49 demo, 0.13 F18-49, 0.39 M18–49.  Also, 0.20 A18-34, 0.07 F12-34, 0.25 M12-34, 0.32 A25-54, 0.33 in over 50.  NXT drew 0.18A18-49, 0.14F18-49, 0.23 M18-49, 0.10 A14-34, 0.08 F12-34, 0.08 M12-34, 0.24 A25-54, 0.34 in over 50.

Payout Perspective:

AEW overall viewership is down this week but perhaps expected considering the amount of sports that were on the television on Wednesday.  NXT ratings have been competitive in the last couple of weeks but AEW still reigns in the younger demo.

The proliferation of gambling makes "shit happens" no longer an acceptable excuse. There should be a vehicle for fixing grossly unfair outcomes like the one that happened to Western Michigan tonight.

We are now in the part of College Football where we are starting to do do-overs so the right team can win

Terry McAulay: "The ball isn't even close to touching a player when it goes to zero... Their Hawk-Eye system apparently had a different sync... I don't see how that happened, assuming our clock is correct... The ball is clearly still in the air when the clock goes to zero..."

Excellent drive from Bryce Underwood and Michigan. So much different from much of last year.

Kyle Whittingham is such a great football coach! Going to be fun to watch the progression of this team.
